Description: Skeletal diagram of the Argentine rebbachisaurid Katepensaurus goicoecheai. Many more elements pertaining to Katepensaurus are known, but they are either very fragmentary, not figured in the literature, or both. The unknown regions were restored after Demandasaurus and Nigersaurus. References Ibiricu, L. M.; Casal, G. A.; Martínez, R. D.; Lamanna, M. C.; Luna, M.; Salgado, L. (2013).
