For what I know It was considered the largest CARNIVOROUS dinosaur, but 
this conclusion is wrong. Then it was considered to be part of the genus 
Titanosaurus, but this genus is now considered a nomen dubium. Probably is 
better to consider him a titanosauria incertae sedis. But I don't know if 
there are diagnostic characters in the preserved remains.
