Descripción
Abelisaurid theropods are well known in Cretaceous beds along South America, particularly Patagonia. However, the record of latest Cretaceous abelisauroids is still far from satisfactory. Until recently, few taxa were described from Maastrichtian beds: Carnotaurus sastrei and Quilmesaurus curriei, but also perhaps Abelisaurus comahuensis. In this contribution, we describe a new genus and species (Niebla antiqua gen. et sp. nov.), of medium-sized abelisaurid coming from Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) beds from Río Negro province, northern Patagonia, Argentina. The paleohistological analysis shows that this individual has reached the somatical maturity and that it represents an adult of a mid-sized abelisaurid. The specimen is represented by a nearly complete braincase, fragmentary jaw and teeth, relatively complete scapulocoracoid, dorsal ribs and incomplete vertebrae. The new taxon is relatively small, much smaller than other coeval abelisaurids such as Carnotaurus and Abelisaurus. The braincase shows autapomorphic features such a dorsoventrally tall basal tuber and postemporal foramen enclosed by parietal and exoccipitals. The scapulocoracoid is notably similar to that of Carnotaurus in having a posterodorsally oriented glenoid, a dorsoventrally expanded and wide coraco-scapular plate, and a very narrow and straight scapular blade. These features are very different from those of other abelisaurids, which may indicate a unique conformation of the pectoral girdle among these South American theropods.
