Cathartesaura anaerobica Cathartesaura

Cathartesaura is a genus of rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur from Late Cretaceous strata of the Huincul Formation, at the “La Buitrera” locality, in the Neuquén Basin of Río Negro Province, Argentina. The fossil remains, described by Gallina and Apesteguía in 2005, consist of a partial skeleton including vertebrae and limb bones. These were found at the base of the formation, which dates back to the Cenomanian and Turonian epochs, in mudstone and sandstone levels.
