摘要
A dinosaur vertebra found in the course of road works in the "Chevain Marls" (marine Callovian) of the Vermont outlier, near the village of Bethon (Sarthe, Pays-de-la-Loire, western France) is described and referred to a stegosaur (cf. Lexovisaurus). It is the first record of a dinosaur in the Middle Jurassic of that area. The specimen was probably derived from the floating carcass of an animal that had lived on the emerged areas of the Armorican Massif, near which the Chevain Marls were deposited. This fossil is an addition to the short list of stegosaur remains reported from France. To cite this article: E. Buffetaut, N. Morel, C. R. Palevol 8 (2009). (C) 2009 Academie des sciences.
