Dorsal vertebrae of Rebbachisaurus garsbae

[mike@miketaylor.org.uk (Mike Taylor)]

Dear DMLers,

The dorsal vertebra from the type specimen of _Rebbachisaurus
garasabae_ Lavocat 1954 is illustrated (by line drawings, not
photographs) in Bonaparte's epic 1999 survey of sauropod presacrals,
fig. 39 (p. 172); and the figure is reproduced in Dalla Vecchia 2005.
But I can't tell from the Bonaparte paper (which is written in
Spanish) whether the figure is an original, or whether, like many of
the other figures in this paper, it is redrawn from an earlier work.
Can anyone cast any light on this matter?

Many thanks.
