Niebla antiqua

Niebla is a genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period (Campanian-Maastrichtian) of Río Negro province, Argentina. The genus contains a single species, Niebla antiqua, and is known from a partial, non-articulated skeleton. The holotype, found in the Allen Formation, represents an adult individual.
Discovery and naming.
The holotype, MPCN-PV-796, was found near Matadero Hill, south of General Roca, Río Negro province, Argentina. The fossil material includes a near-complete braincase, fragmentary jaw and teeth, relatively complete scapulocoracoid, dorsal ribs and incomplete vertebrae.
The genus name "Niebla" comes from the Spanish word for "mist", referring to the foggy days during the excavation of the fossil. The specific name, "antiqua", is derived from a Latin word meaning "old."
Description.
"Niebla" represents one of the most derived abelisaurids. Despite its relatively small size, especially when compared to related dinosaurs like "Carnotaurus", the holotype represents an adult. Based on the remains, "Niebla" would have been roughly long.
The scapulocoracoid is notably similar to that of "Carnotaurus" in having a posterodorsally oriented glenoid, a dorsoventrally expanded and wide coraco-scapular plate, and a very narrow and straight scapular blade. These features are very different from those of other abelisaurids, which may indicate a unique conformation of the pectoral girdle among these South American theropods.
Paleoecology.
"Niebla" is known from the Allen Formation of Argentina. The pterosaur "Aerotitan", as well as theropods ("Quilmesaurus", "Bonapartenykus", "Austroraptor"), sauropods ("Bonatitan", "Pellegrinisaurus, Rocasaurus)" and ornithopods ("Lapampasaurus, Bonapartesaurus)", are also known from the formation.
