Cited by genera

  • Magyarosaurus

    Revision of the Romanian sauropods. Confirms the lectotype, gives a revised autapomorphy-based diagnosis, and places the type locality at Valioara rather than Sânpetru.

  • Mansourasaurus

    Recovered Mansourasaurus with Lirainosaurus under equal weights, and as the sister of Saltasaurinae under implied weights.

  • Paludititan

    Places the type locality in the Râul Mare Beds.

  • Petrustitan
  • Uriash

Cited by clades

  • Lirainosaurinae

    Recovered Lirainosaurinae just outside Saltasauridae under implied weighting; not monophyletic under equal weights.

  • Rinconsauria

    Reported that analyses on the Gorscak and O'Connor matrix separate Rinconsauria and Lognkosauria, and that most place Aeolosaurus close to or within Rinconsauria.
