Euhelopus zdanskyi is represented by cranial and postcranial material from the Mengyin Formation of China. Euhelopus is likely to be Early Cretaceous in age, although a Late Jurassic age is possible ( Wilson & Upchurch, 2009). Euhelopus has been the subject of several detailed descriptions ( Wiman, 1929; Mateer & McIntosh, 1985; Wilson & Upchurch, 2009) and studies of its phylogenetic affinities ( Wilson & Sereno, 1998; Wilson & Upchurch, 2009), which have suggested that it is a basal somphospondylan. In the present analysis, exemplars ‘a’ and ‘c’ of Euhelopus are regarded as pertaining to one individual following Wilson & Upchurch (2009).
