Hello. I am working on a book about all Mesozoic non-Aves dinosaurs. Right now I'm writing about rebbachisaurids, specifically Histriasaurus. But there's a problem: when was it described, and in what publication? Wikipedia cites Dalla Vecchia (1998) "Remains of Sauropoda (Reptilia, Saurischia) in the Lower Cretaceous (Upper Hauterivian/Lower Barremian) limestones of SW Istria (Croatia)", but it doesn't mention the word Histriasaurus. Do you know which publication actually names it? If so, could you direct me to a copy? Thanks in advance.
