Résumé
A new dinosaur fossil remain from the Albian (Early Cretaceous) of Murcia (Spain) is described. It is a fragmentary proximal end of a left metacarpal I from an indeterminate sauropod. A preliminary review indicates a morphology close to Brachiosauridae, but this remain is assigned to Sauropoda indet. due to its fragmentary preservation. This fossil represents the first dinosaur remain from the Utrillas Formation in Spain and opens the possibilities for future fieldwork in this formation.
