2 1/2 sacral centra Atlantosaurus
montanus, originally named Titanosaurus
montanus, musn't confuse with titanosaurids. Marsh's 1877 genus
Titanosaurus
was preoccupied by Lydekker's Titanosaurus
(the typical titanosaurid), proposed a few months earlier in 1877.
That's the only connection between Atlantosaurus and titanosaurids.
The type sacrum of Atlantosaurus montanus is indeterminate but
probably belonged to an Apatosaurus.
