• Jingshanosaurus

  Recovered Jingshanosaurus and Seitaad as the sister of Massospondylidae plus Sauropodiformes.

  CT-based revised cranial description; proposes cranial autapomorphies (basipterygoid processes diverging less than 60°) and rejects the earlier Sues and colleagues (2004) cranial diagnosis.
