Galvesaurus herreroi is a sauropod from the Villar del Arzobispo Formation
(late Kimmeridgian-early Tithonian), from the municipality of Galve
(Teruel). Its phylogenetic relations have been long debated, so we carried
out a phylogenetic analysis, using a new data matrix recently published by
Carballido et al. (2017). The characters of Galvesaurus were coded on the
basis of the redescription of the published remains and the description of
two unpublished fossils: a right coracoid and a fragment of the right
pubis. The results of the analysis suggest the inclusion of Galvesaurus in
the clade Titanosauriformes, as a sister taxon to Lusotitan, these two taxa
form part of the Brachiosauridae clade. Likewise, a stratigraphic study was
undertaken, placing the Galvesaurus site in the lower part of the Villar
del Arzobispo Formation, thus assigning the sauropod a late
Kimmeridgian-early Tithonian age.
