The only specimen found for this dinosaur that scientists believe belongs to this dinosaur is a single upper arm bone about 3 feet (1 meter) long. This bone is evidence that a fairly large sauropod lived in what is now France. This dinosaur has a reputation for being the most often misspelled names.
