An alleged sauropod, known on the Isle of Wight from several vertebrae from Sandown Bay and Culver Cliff and very fragmentary vertebrae and limb elements from the Wessex Formation of Brook. If all these belonged to the same individual, then they would have been the second most complete Isle of Wight sauropod, diagnosed on the basis of a low centrum length: height (l:h) ratio, a derived condition present in the anterior caudal centra of eusauropods.
However, it has been demonstrated that all the material assigned to C. brevis by Owen belongs to Iguanodon (which also has a low l:h ratio in the posterior dorsals), with the exception of BMNH R2544–2550 which represent an indeterminate sauropod. Most specimens are too poorly preserved to be identified precisely and may not even be confidently assigned to the sauropoda.
