A new skeleton of <em>Phuwiangosaurus sirindhornae</em> (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) from NE Thailand
<p>A new skeleton of a sauropod dinosaur has been discovered in the Early Cretaceous Sao Khua Formation at Ban Na Khrai in Changwat
Kalasin (NE Thailand). All sauropod bones from Ban Na Khrai share all their characteristics with the type specimen of <em>Phuwiangosaurus sirindhornae</em> Martin, Buffetaut & Suteethorn 1994. The 60% complete skeleton is very well preserved and includes cranial elements (a tooth, a frontal, a postorbital, a squamosal,
both quadrates, and the braincase), whereas the type specimen is only 10% complete and consists of postcranial bones only.
The material from Ban Na Khrai belongs to a single subadult individual of <em>Phuwiangosaurus</em>, as attested by the unfused neurocentral sutures of the vertebrae, which are firmly fused and larger in size in the holotypic
specimen.
