lewisi (Jensen,1988) =
Cathetosaurus lewisi (Jensen,1988)
"upright lizard" Named for the construction of the
pelvis, which supposedly indicated a sauropod that could rear on its
hind legs to feed. Resembles Camarasaurus
but differs from all other known sauropods in having bifurcated
neural spines on its presacral vertebrae from the third cervical to
the posterrormost dorsal.
The skeleton is missing only the skull, the hind limbs, the
left forelimb, and the rear portion of the tail. It displays an
unusually inclined pelvis, unlike that of most other sauropods, that
Jensen says support his bipedality hypothesis.
