Sauropod remains from the early Cretaceous (late Barremian–early Aptian) of Salas de los Infantes (Burgos, Spain) are described. The material consists of several caudal vertebrae, chevrons, a pair of ischia and a femur that is presumed to belong to a single medium-sized individual. Based on the tall neural arches and broad neural spines of the anterior caudal vertebrae, the specimen is referred to the Diplodocoidea. Moreover, it shows affinities with the Rebbachisauridae, a basal clade of diplodocoids. Both the caudal vertebrae and ischium of the Burgos sauropod are similar in form to those of ‘Rebbachisaurus’ tessonei from the Albian-Cenomanian of South America. However, there are some differences with regard to this taxon, so the Burgos sauropod is provisionally referred to as Rebbachisauridae in-det. Rebbachisaurids are known in the Aptian-Cenomanian of the western Gondwanan landmasses (Africa and South America), although further remains have been reported from the Coniacian-Santonian of Argentina and the Hauteri-vian–Barremian of Croatia. The Burgos diplodocoid appears to be one of the earliest representative of the Rebbachisau-ridae. This discovery supports previous evidence of a land connection between Europe and Africa across the Tethys seaway sometime in the early Cretaceous.

Un dinosaure ornithopode à haute épine neurale provenant de la Formation Pinilla de los Moros (Hauterivien supérieur-Barrémien inférieur) de Salas de los Infantes (Burgos, Espagne) est décrit ici. Le matériel consiste en sept restes associés du squelette axial, y compris cinq vertèbres dorsales moyennes, une épine neurale fragmentaire et une côte dorsale, appartenant probablement à un seul individu de taille moyenne. Ce matériel a été auparavant rapporté à Iguanodon cf. fittoni . Il est caractérisé par une neurapophyse allongée, environ quatre fois et demie plus haute que la hauteur du centrum. La longueur et l’orientation verticale de l’épine neurale des vertèbres dorsales permettent de le différencier d’autres ornithopodes des faciès wealdiens d’Europe, y compris Hypselospinus et Barilium du Valanginien, Iguanodon et Mantellisaurus du Barrémien-Aptien. Il est ici rapporté à Iguanodontia indet. de part sa nature fragmentaire, mais représente potentiellement un nouveau taxon. Parmi les ornithopodes, seuls Ouranosaurus et l’hadrosauridé Hypacrosaurus possèdent des épines neurales dorsales plus hautes.
