Pneumatic structures of Austroposeidon magnificus gen. et sp. nov.
(A) The anatomical planes analyzed in this study: 1—Coronal, 2- Median, 3 –Transversal. (B) Coronal plane showing the extensive centro-postzygapophyseal fossae at the middle portion of the vertebra. (C) and (D) show the the centro-postzygapophyseal fossae and the neural canal, in median and transverse planes, respectively. (E) Dorsal vertebra (D1) in transverse plane. (F) Sacral vertebra in transverse plane. Note the internal pneumatic constructions showing a connection between smaller camellate structures, as evidenced by the white dashed lines. See text for discussion. Abbreviations: cpof, centropostzygapophyseal fossae; nc, neural channel, ns, neural spine. Scale bar: 100mm.
