Er. In what way? The cervicals look pretty darned non-brachiosaurid to me. 

It ain't much...

"Ventrally, the diapophysis has two centrodiapophyseal laminae that reach the centrum, surrounding a wide, deep medial cavity. Another wide, triangle-shaped cavity is defined by the posterior centrodiapophyseal and postzygodiapophyseal laminae, resembling that observed in the cervical vertebrae of _Sauroposeidon proteles_ and _Brachiosaurus brancai_ (Wedel et al., 2000b)."

        Salgado, L., 2003.  Should we abandon the name
        Titanosauridae?: some comments on the taxonomy of
        titanosaurian sauropods (Dinosauria).  Revista Espanola de
        Paleontologia 18, 15-21.

Which I assume is a response to Wilson and Upchurch 2003.  If anyone
has a PDF of that paper, I'd be delighted to see it.  Thanks.


So would I.
