Reference for Losillasaurus

Add this reference to the Losillasaurus page:

Royo-Torres, R., Cobos, A., and Alcalá, L. (2006). "A Giant European Dinosaur and a New Sauropod Clade." Science, 314: 1925-1927.

The cladistic analysis by Royo-Torres et. al. (2006) nested Losillasaurus within Turiasauria. The only other members of the new clade are Turiasaurus and Galveosaurus. Since Turiasaurus was a large sauropod, I hypothesize that Galveosaurus and Losillasaurus were also large.

Well, get your hypothesis published and add a ref! ;) Obviously, remains of L. and G. are known, so it should be easy to compare their size with corresponding bones or scaled-up relatives from T. Dinoguy2 18:58, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
