Antarctican prosauropod.

This is the final pencil-and-digital sketch completed for the July-September 2010 issue of Answers Magazine. The holotype's binomial is Glacialisaurus hammeri (Smith and Pol, 2007), but the remains are so scant, it is unknown whether or not the material deserves a novel genus. The bits discovered thus far appear most similar to the Chinese Massospondylus huenei. (M. huenei is often assigned the genera Lufengosaurus or Plateosaurus.)  

Because of the fragmentary condition of the remains, the image above is highly speculative.
