Plateosaurus ornatus						May be a nomen dubium
Plateosauravus stormbergensis
Pleurocoelus montanus
Tangvayosaurus falloti
Titanosaurus falloti
Titanosaurus madagascarensis	UCB 92305					Additional material was originally referred to this specimen, but it has since been referred to the genus Rapetosaurus
