Galeamopus sp.

REFERRED SPECIMENS: The specimens referable to Galeamopus from RFPR Quarry B comprise four nearly complete cervical vertebrae and fragments of a fifth (CM 36039), possibly two articulated dorsal vertebral arches (CM 36041, see above), and two caudal vertebrae (CM 36035). They may or may not be from a single individual. CM 36039 consists of four midcervical vertebrae and likely part of a fifth that is associated with the largest of the four elements ( fig. 3; table 2). At least three of the four elements and the associated fragment appear to form a continuous series ( fig. 3A–I). The fourth might not actually belong to the same taxon ( fig. 3J–L; see below). The cervical vertebrae CM 36039 are identified as midcervical elements due to their centrum elongation and neural spine morphology. The three relatively complete, sequential elements most closely resemble cervical vertebrae 5–7 of
