I couldn't verify the following, so I deleted it:

The Titanosaurus, first named in 1893 as a sauropod, had been reclassified as an ankylosaur when pieces of armour were found with some later skeletons. However, Saltasaurus showed that a dinosaur could be armoured and retain its status as a sauropod - Titanosaurus was duly restored to "sauropodhood".

Osteoderms were mistakenly attributed to a nodosaurid ankylosaur, but I don't think Titanosaurus was ever mistaken for an ankylosaur.... 68.81.231.127 17:44, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

What's with the big chunk of name comparison? I understand the logic behind listing the alternate spelling, but, I never had trouble distinguishing Saltasaurus from Saltopus or Saltoposuchus, even as a kid... the only reason anyone might "mistake" them for one another is because they start with "salt--" but I don't see long paragraphs distinguishing Archaeopteryx, Archaeoraptor, Archaeoceratops, Archaeornithomimus, etc. or Sinosauropteryx, Sinornithosaurus, Sinraptor, Sinovenator, etc., which are much more complex and actually can be confusing. 97.104.210.67 (talk) 17:31, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

• I agree, it's very redundant. FunkMonk (talk) 17:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Auca Mahuevo

As far I know, the fossils from Saltasaurus coming from the Allen Formation, that is younger compared with the Anacleto Formation, where is located the Auca Mahuevo site. So, why are related here in the article? really exists remains that match with Saltasaurus in Auca Mahuevo?--Rextron (talk) 03:27, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Indeed, they were (perhaps) of saltasaurines, not saltasauri. I've adapted the text somewhat.--MWAK (talk) 09:33, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

I've forget this! thanks for the editions. --Rextron (talk) 19:59, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
