Thanks for the info guys!  I've changed the name of this thread to reflect that it can include specimens that lack diagnostic features e.g. "Plesiosaurus macrocephalus", and updated the entries for that specimen and Ernest with info you provided.  I've also updated the entry for "Not Sinosauropteryx" with the recent reclassification of it as a tyrannosauroid, and added an entry for the Antarctic sauropodomorph.  I'm not sure if the French sauropod in the link is known from good remains, e.g. the skull is known?

According to Ronan Allain, this would be a new species, close to Camarasaurus.
So far, Ronan and his team have found 4 articulated dorsal vertebrae, about twenty ribs, the pelvis (including ischium), a femora, a good part of the dentary and about 20 teeth but I don't know if this material could be considered satisfactory enough to be included in your list ????

PS : of course, it's important to specify that all this material hasn't been prepared yet since the fossil was collected last summer.
They have planned to go back to the field this summer in the hope of finding more remains of the animal !
