Valérie Martin, Varavudh Suteethorn & Eric Buffetaut, Description of the type and referred material of Phuwiangosaurus sirindhornae Martin, Buffetaut et Suteethorn, 1994, a sauropod from the Lower Cretaceous of Thailand. Oryctos 2, 39-91.
The type specimen of P. sirindhornae Martin, Buffetaut and Suteethorn, 1994 is an incomplete, partly articulated, skeleton discovered in the Phu Wiang area of northeastern Thailand). Most of the abundant sauropod material from the Sao Khua Formation (Early Cretaceous), collected on the Khorat Plateau, in northeastern Thailand, is referable to this species. Phuwiangosaurus is a middle-sized sauropod, which is clearly different from the Jurassic Chinese sauropods (Euhelopodidae). On the basis of a few jaw elements and teeth, P. sirindhornae may be considered as an early representative of the family Nemegtosauridae.
