So it's back to being a camarasaurlike macronarian?  As Tom noted earlier, 
Jeff Wilson indicated last month that this animal fell just outside 
Neosauropoda.

The skull does look rather reminiscent of _Camarasaurus_ (though, for those 
of you who haven't seen it, it has a hugely long, thin, sloping nasal spar--a 
most interesting-looking animal).  _Jobaria_, it sounds like, is definitely 
in need of a lengthy monograph.  95% complete!  Can you believe it?
