English: Excavation map showing the specimens of Mierasaurus bobyoungi gen. nov, sp. nov. and geographical setting of the Doelling’s Bowl site. Recovered specimens include: numerous disarticulated cranial elements, many axial elements, an articulated hind leg and a partial articulated forelimb (holotype: UMNH.VP.26004, and referred material of a juvenile sauropod: UMNH.VP.26010 and UMNH.VP.26011). The articulated manus and pes extended through the sediment at an angle below the level of the majority of the skeleton, indicating that an individual sauropod became mired in soft sediment and died in place.
