Revisión histórica y sistemática del primer hallazgo de tetanuros basales (Theropoda) del Cretácico Inferior de Morella (Castellón)

Abstract

Historic and systematic aspects of a partial left femur determined as belonging to an undetermined tetanuran theropod are discussed. Probably, the fossil was collected in the ending of the XIX century in the Lower Cretaceous sediments of the Morella Formation, near to the town of Morella (Castellón). The original specimen was destroyed by a fire in 1932, but some casts and documents are still housed in the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid
