"Volkeimeria" is classified as a basal eusauropod, though in 2004 Paul Upchurch was suspicious of its placement, because of its “opisthoceolous cervical centra, the absence of a femoral anterior trochanter, and laterally projecting cnemial crest of the tibia”, and instead thought it may be a generic sauropod.African eusauropods may include "Spinophorosaurus", from Niger, although that taxon may instead be closer to "Vulcanodon" and outside Eusauropoda.
