Salgado et al.'s paraphyletic Brachiosauridae



Salgado et al.'s (1997) phylogenetic analysis of titanosaurs and
nearby outgroups a recovered a paraphyletic Brachiosauridae, a finding
which I've had the impression is widely cited.  However, when I came
to look for instances of subsequent papers that seem to have taken
this finding at face value, all I could find was Wedel et al. 2000 and
Naish et al. 2005.  Are there more of them out there?  References,
please!

Thank you.
