Ebrachosaurus singularis Kuhn, 1936

Holotype.

Originally SNSB-BSPG, lost during WW II. Various postcranial bones, including right humerus, radius, and ulna, left ilium and partial pubis, right femur, and paramedian and ventral osteoderms ( Kuhn 1936).

Type locality.

Former sandstone quarry at Ebrach, Bamberg district, Bavaria.

Type horizon.

Bed 13, Blasensandstein, Middle Keuper Subgroup. Age: Late Triassic (Carnian: Tuvalian).

Diagnosis.

Due to the loss of the holotype and only known specimen it is no longer possible to provide a diagnosis.

Comments.

Kuhn (1936) already recognized the stagonolepidid affinities of this taxon. Heckert and Lucas (2000) noted the close similarity of the holotype to Stagonolepis robertsoni and even considered Ebrachosaurus singularis a subjective junior synonym of the former.
