Exquisite air sac histological traces in a hyperpneumatized nanoid sauropod dinosaur from South America

This study reports the occurrence of pneumosteum (osteohistological structure related to an avian-like air sac system) in a nanoid (5.7-m-long) saltasaurid titanosaur from Upper Cretaceous Brazil.
