familia = "Vulcanodontidae"The Early Jurassic sauropod dinosaurs "Zizhongosaurus", "Barapasaurus", "Tazoudasaurus", and "Vulcanodon" may form a natural group of basal sauropods called the Vulcanodontidae. Basal vulcanodonts include some of the earliest known examples of sauropods. The family-level name Vulcanodontidae was erected by M.R. Cooper in 1984. In 1995 Hunt "et al." published the opinion that the family is synonymous with the Barapasauridae.
