Abstract

Abstract. A fragmentary and the largest single bone element from the Lower Cretaceous Kanmon Group in Kyushu Island, southwestern Japan reported yet to date is described. This specimen has a fossa and lenticular foramen on its lateral surface and internal chambers of both large and small sizes. It was identified as the cervical vertebra of a titanosauriform sauropod dinosaur mainly based on such pneumatic structure. This specimen represents the first titanosauriform to be described from the Kanmon Group.
