Notohypsilophodon comodorensis

Reptilia - Thescelosauridae

Taxonomy
Notohypsilophodon comodorensis was named by Martínez (1998). Its type specimen is UNPSJB-Pv 942, a partial skeleton (four cervical vertebrae, seven dorsal vertebrae, four sacral vertebrae, six caudal vertebraepreserved), rib fragment, a portion of the left scapula, right corac), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is 28 km northeast of Buen Pasto, which is in a Cenomanian/Turonian terrestrial horizon in the Bajo Barreal Formation of Argentina.

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. M. Ibiricu et al. 2014A small ornithopod dinosaur distinguished from all other basal ornithopods by the following autapomorphies originally proposed by Martinez (1998) and supported in this study: Anteromedial bulge on the proximal extremity of the tibia, calcaneum with a pronounced posterodistal projection. Additionally, the following new autapomorphies are proposed: Distal tip of the sacral neural spine strongly projected posteriorly, sternal process of the coracoids markedly reduced.
