Durante los días 10 a 13 de Octubre se ha celebrado en la ciudad de Pittsburgh (Pensilvania, Estados Unidos) el 70th Annual Meeting Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. En esta reunión científica, en concreto en la sesión del miércoles 13, fue presentada una primera aproximación a un nuevo tipo de ornitópodo camptosáurido en el Jurásico Superior de la Cuenca Lusitánica (Portugal) y sus relaciones de parentesco con los miembros de este linaje en América del Norte.
Tomado del texto introductorio:
"Ornithopod dinosaur fauna from the Upper Jurassic Lusitanian Basin (Central-West Portugal) is poorly known and mainly represented by isolated bone remains and teeth. At present, just occasionally, some partial skeletons are found, and so, the incompleteness of the available specimens does not allow a robust interpretation of the composition of the ornithopod assemblages from these ecosystems. In this context, is noteworthy the discovery of a new and, so far unknown, ornithopod species for the European record."
