Re: Sauropod phylogeny details

[Matias Soto <soto@adinet.com.uy>]

I suppose you already know this, but AFAIK the most recent phylogenies 
including those taxa are Rauhut (2005)'s description of *Brachytrachelopan* 
(which depicts *Tehuelchesaurus* in a politomy as a basal titanosauriform) 
and Bonaparte et al. (2006)'s description of *Ligabuesaurus* (which depicts 
*Chubutisaurus* as a non titanosaurian somphospondylian, and *Lirainosaurus* 
as a titanosaur more derived than *Malawisaurus*).
Hope this helps,
