<abstract>
<p>The type material of the oldest known sauropod dinosaur from South America, &lt;i&gt;Amygdalodon patagonicus&lt;/i&gt;, from the Cerro Carnerero Formation (Toarcian-Bajocian) of Chubut province. Argentina, is reviewed. The material includes elements of at least two individuals plus a remain of another, indeterminate vertebrate, and a posterior dorsal vertebra is designated as the lectotype of &lt;i&gt;Amygdalodon&lt;/i&gt;. All of the sauropod material originally referred to this species represents very basal, non-neosauropodan eusauropods. &lt;i&gt;Amygdalodon&lt;/i&gt; is the only South American evidence for a probable Early to early Middle Jurassic global dispersal of basal eusauropodan sauropods.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Das Typusmaterial des ältesten südamerikanische sauropoden Dinosauriers. &lt;i&gt;Amygdalodon patagonicus&lt;/i&gt; von der Cerro Carnerero Formation (Toarc-Bajoc) der Provinz Chubut, Argentinien, wird revidiert. Das Material enthält Elemente von mindestens zwei Individuen sowie eines anderen, nicht identifizierbaren Wirbeltieres. Ein hinterer Dorsalwirbel wird als Lektotypus von &lt;i&gt;Amygdalodon&lt;/i&gt; bestimmt. Das gesamte ursprünglich zu diesem Taxon gestellte Sauropodenmaterial repräsentiert sehr basale Eusauropoden außerhalb der Neosauropoda. &lt;i&gt;Amygdalodon&lt;/i&gt; ist der einzige südamerikanische Hinweis auf eine vermutlich globale Verbreitung der Eusauropoden im unteren bis frühen mittleren Jura.
