Supplementary Notes

This file contains information on the geology and taphonomy of the Langenberg quarry locality, details of the phylogenetic analysis including the data matrix, an extended diagnosis of Europasaurus holgeri gen. et sp. nov., information on body length (BL) estimates for Europasaurus and on methods of histologic study of Europasaurus long bones. This file also contains four figures. Supplementary Figure 1 provides a palaeogeographic map of Central Europe during the Kimmeridgian. Supplementary Figure 2 illustrates the various parts of the skeleton, including autapomorphic features. Supplementary Figures 3 illustrates the premaxilla bearing the cranial autapomorphy of Europasaurus. Supplementary Figure 4 illustrates the results of the phylogenetic analysis in a cladogram.

*The legend to Supplementary Fig. 2 has been modified on 7 July 2006 by addition of ref. 14 to give due credit for the reconstruction of Brachiosaurus.
