It's surely a macronarian, but it may be below camarasaurid (hence only 
"camarasaurlike") level because it doesn't have bifid neural spines (they're 
called "simple") and has the primitive number of 12 cervicals (like 
Camarasaurus). There's nothing micro about those macro-nares. In the old days 
it might have been classified as a late-occurring cetiosaurid.
