A quantitative analysis of environmental associations in sauropod dinosaurs (2010, background): “However, it is worth noting that of the 25 rebbachisaurids incorporated into this analysis, only one (the putative form, Amazonsaurus [Carvalho et al. 2003]) was recovered from a coastal environment, suggesting a possible ‘‘environmental convergence’’ between titanosaurs and rebbachisaurids.”
New information on the anatomy and systematic position of Dinheirosaurus lourinhanensis (Sauropoda: Diplodocoidea) from the Late Jurassic of Portugal, with a review of European diplodocoids (2012, background): “It has also been claimed that the basal diplodocoid Amazonsaurus possesses mild opisthocoely beyond its anterior dorsal vertebrae (Carvalho et al. 2003); however, although the absence of parapophyses on the two preserved dorsal centra means that they are clearly not from the anteriormost part of…”
A new basal rebbachisaurid (Sauropoda, Diplodocoidea) from the Early Cretaceous of the Neuquén Basin; evolution and biogeography of the group (2012, background): “Amazonsaurus from Brasil (Carvalho et al. 2003) may represent a fifth rebbachisaurid taxon from the Early Cretaceous, but its phylogenetic relationships are not clear (e.g., Salgado et al. 2004; Rauhut et al. 2005; Carballido et al. 2010; Whitlock 2011; Mannion et al. 2012).”
