The Appendicular Skeleton of Neuquensaurus, a Late Cretaceous Saltasaurine Sauropod from Patagonia, Argentina (2010, background): “The highest values of femoral eccentricity are present within saltasaurines (N. robustus = 1.58; Saltasaurus = 1.65, see Appendix 3); however, Brachiosaurus altithorax Riggs, 1903 and Giraffatitan brancai (Janensch, 1914) reported high values too (ECC almost 2.0, Taylor 2009).”
Revision of the sauropod dinosaur Diamantinasaurus matildae Hocknull et al. 2009 from the mid-Cretaceous of Australia: Implications for Gondwanan titanosauriform dispersal (2015, background): “…tall (Supplementary Table 2), lacking the very strong dorsoventral compression of posterior dorsal centra seen in Giraffatitan Paul 1988, and the derived titanosaurs Epachthosaurus Powell 1990 and Opisthocoelicaudia Borsuk-Białynicka 1977 (Martínez et al., 2004; Taylor, 2009; Mannion et al., 2013).”
Osteology of the Late Jurassic Portuguese sauropod dinosaur Lusotitan atalaiensis (Macronaria) and the evolutionary history of basal titanosauriforms (2013, background): “Rauhut (2006) noted that the possession of a V-shaped first chevron was a feature previously seen only in Giraffatitan, but urged caution in that this element was known in few sauropods; subsequently, a similar morphology has been described in Andesaurus and some other titanosaurs (Mannion & Calvo, ”
The early evolution of titanosauriform sauropod dinosaurs (2012, methodology): “Only a few steps are required to move Brachiosaurus into a more or less derived position within Brachiosauridae or as the sister taxon of Giraffatitan as traditionally hypothesized (Janensch, 1950; Taylor, 2009).”
Postcranial axial skeleton of Europasaurus holgeri (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) from the Upper Jurassic of Germany: implications for sauropod ontogeny and phylogenetic relationships of basal Macronaria (2014, background): “…the Late Jurassic of western North America (e.g. Camarasaurus, Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus; Cope 1877; Riggs 1903; Marsh 1878; Madsen et al. 1995; Taylor 2009), Tanzania (e.g. Giraffatitan, Torneria, Australodocus; Janensch 1914; Fraas 1908; Remes 2007; Taylor 2009) and Portugal (e.g.…”
