It is extraordinary for a few reasons.  I can share some of them:

It is a sauropod.
It is quite primitive for it's late appearance in the fossil record.
It is very completely known (95%, including most of the skull).
It will be "one of the first sauropods mounted... without a 'birth canal' 
through the chest."

More in the _Science_ paper to come.
