Rahiolisaurus, a new Lameta abelisaurid

Remember that incomplete abelisaurid skeleton Chatterjee and Rudra (1996) illustrated?  It's finally getting described and named.  Thanks to a bibliographic entry in Mendez et al. (2010), we know its name- Rahiolisaurus gujaratensis.  According to Chatterjee and Rudra's skeletal reconstruction, the arms were quite plesiomorphic, but we'll see what the actual bones say in June.
