Description
Ebrachosaurus singularis Kuhn, 1936
Holotype.
Originally SNSB-BSPG, lost during WW II. Various postcranial bones, including right humerus, radius, and ulna, left ilium and partial pubis, right femur, and paramedian and ventral osteoderms (Kuhn 1936).
Type locality.
Former sandstone quarry at Ebrach, Bamberg district, Bavaria.
Type horizon.
Bed 13, Blasensandstein, Middle Keuper Subgroup. Age: Late Triassic (Carnian: Tuvalian).
Diagnosis.
Due to the loss of the holotype and only known specimen it is no longer possible to provide a diagnosis.
Comments.
Kuhn (1936) already recognized the stagonolepidid affinities of this taxon. Heckert and Lucas (2000) noted the close similarity of the holotype to Stagonolepis robertsoni and even considered Ebrachosaurus singularis a subjective junior synonym of the former.
