ALAMOSAURUS SANJUANENSIS

Alamosaurus sanjuanensis was named on the basis of a holotypic scapula and paratypic ischium from the Maastrichtian Kirtland Formation of New Mexico, USA ( Gilmore, 1922). Referred remains from Utah ( Gilmore, 1946) and Texas ( Lehman & Coulson, 2002) are substantiated by autapomorphies amongst the exemplars (D’Emic et al., 2011) and were included in scoring for Alamosaurus . Teeth ( Kues, Lehman & Rigby, 1980) and a pes (D’Emic et al., 2011) from the holotypic area and horizon were also included in the scoring for Alamosaurus because they most likely pertain to Alamosaurus , the only sauropod genus recognized from the Maastrichtian of North America.
