List of sauropod species explained

Sauropoda is a clade of dinosaurs that consists of roughly 300 species of large, long-necked herbivores and includes the largest terrestrial animals ever to exist. The first sauropod species were named in 1842 by Richard Owen, though at the time, he regarded them as unusual crocodilians. Sauropoda was named in 1878 by Othniel Marsh.

Scope

For historical value, this list includes every sauropod species that has been formally named, regardless of whether the species is currently considered to be valid. Invalid species (i.e., species that are regarded as dubious or as a junior synonym of another species) are given a darker gray background.

The precise definition of Sauropoda is disputed. One proposed dividing line is to consider as sauropods all species more closely related to derived sauropods than Melanorosaurus, one of the most sauropod-like taxa historically classified as a "prosauropod". The other is to exclude from Sauropoda any species more distantly related to derived sauropods than Vulcanodon, one of the earliest and most basal taxa historically accepted as a sauropod. This leaves an interval of species more closely related to derived sauropods than Melanorosaurus but not so closely as Vulcanodon that are sauropods under one definition but not the other. Many characteristics of sauropods, such as opisthocoelous cervical vertebrae and columnar limbs, evolved within this transitional region, so that species within it may exhibit a combination of characteristics regarded as sauropod-like or non-sauropod-like.

For the purposes of this list, species whose phylogenetic position may fall within the interval between Melanorosaurus and Vulcanodon, or whose status as a sauropod is otherwise regarded as uncertain, are listed separately from unambiguous sauropods.

The third section of this list covers species that were once classified as sauropods, but have been reidentified as belonging to other groups.

The fourth section of this list covers informally named sauropod species.

Unambiguous sauropods

The following is a list of every species of sauropod that has ever been formally named, regardless of whether it is currently considered valid, dubious, or synonymous with another species. Invalid species are given a darker gray background. It does not contain species that have been recovered as basal to Vulcanodon by phylogenetic analysis, which are covered in a separate list below. The list contains the following information:

Sauropodomorphs of uncertain affinity

This section of the list contains sauropodomorphs that are more closely related to eusauropods than Melanorosaurus but not as closely as Vulcanodon, thus lying between the two proposed boundaries of Sauropoda, as well as sauropodomorphs of unspecified phylogenetic position whose status as sauropods is disputed.

Non-sauropodomorphs misidentified as sauropods

This section of the list covers taxa that were at one point referred to Sauropoda, its historical synonyms Cetiosauria or Opisthocoelia, or referred to a taxon that is now regarded as a sauropod, such as the genus Cetiosaurus. However, it excludes sauropodomorphs that were referred to Sauropoda as a result of debate over where the boundary between sauropods and non-sauropod sauropodomorphs lie.

Colspan=4 Species misidentified as sauropods
Scientific nameTaxonomic statusCurrent classificationNotes
Cetiosaurus brachyurus
Owen, 1842
Nomen dubiumIguanodonOne of the four original species of Cetiosaurus. Referred to Iguanodon in 1849 by Melville, a referral that was still upheld as of 2003.
Hypsibema crassicauda
Cope, 1869
Regarded as a sauropod by Baird and Horner in 1979.
Cetiosaurus rigauxi
Sauvage, 1874
PliosaurusSauvage initially interpreted this species, based on a single vertebra, as belonging to Cetiosaurus. In 1895, he reinterpreted it as belonging to the marine reptile Pliosaurus.
Apatodon mirus
Marsh, 1877
Listed as a sauropod by Kuhn in 1937
Tichosteus lucasanus
Cope, 1877
Listed as a member of Cetiosauria by Osborn in 1898
Epanterias amplexus
Cope, 1878
TheropodaRegarded as a sauropod by Cope; still listed as a sauropod by Romer in 1956.
Brachyrophus altarkansanus
Cope, 1878
OrnithopodaListed as a sauropod by Kuhn in 1937
Symphyrophus musculosus
Cope, 1878
Subjective junior synonym of Camptosaurus disparOrnithopodaListed as a member of Cetiosauria by Osborn in 1898. Has been synonymized with Camptosaurus dispar, but may be a chimera that includes crocodylian material.
Morosaurus marchei
Sauvage, 1898
Nomen dubiumTheropodaA tooth formerly referred to this taxon, MG 8779, does come from a sauropod
Succinodon putzeri
Huene, 1941
TeredinidaeDescribed by Huene as the jaw of a sauropod, but later discovered to be the borings of shipworms.
Hypsibema missouriensis
(Gilmore & Stewart, 1945)
ValidOrnithopodaOriginally described as a sauropod under the name Neosaurus missouriensis, but the name Neosaurus was preoccupied so it was renamed Parrosaurus missouriensis. Reclassified as a species of Hypsibema in 1979 by Baird and Horner, who regarded the genus as belonging to Sauropoda.
Astrodon pusillus
Lapparent &&nbsp;Zbyszewski, 1957
Nomen dubiumDinosauriaOriginally described as a species of the sauropod Astrodon. In 1981, Galton reidentified it as belonging to the stegosaurid Dacentrurus. In 2008, Maidment et al. concluded it lacked evidence of stegosaur affinities and should be regarded as an indeterminate dinosaur.

Informally named sauropods

See also: List of informally named dinosaurs.

This section of the list contains sauropods that have never been formally scientifically named, but have been referred to with an informal binomial name.

"Nurosaurus qaganensis"
"Mamenchisaurus guangyuanensis"Zhang1981Described by Zhang Suoping in her 1981 master's thesis as "Omeisaurus guangyuanensis". Referred to Mamenchisaurus by Li and Cai in 1997. Ouyang and Ye tentatively agreed with Li and Cai's assessment in 2002, but were unsure whether it represented a distinct species. Based on fossils from the Upper Shaximiao Formation, including several juvenile specimens.
