New sauropodomorph from the Triassic of Brazil

[Halichoeres]

Bagualosaurus agudoensis ("strongly built lizard from Agudo") was large for a Carnian dinosaur but still on the smaller end of sauropodomorphs (about 2.5 meters). It's described here from a substantial fraction of a skeleton including the jaws and part of the skull.
