Because this genus of possible titanosaur is only based upon teeth, Neosodon is usually treated as a highly dubious genus. First considered to have been a theropod similar to Megalosaurus, then a synonym to Iguanodon, Neosodon was later considered to be a sauropod, perhaps a brachiosaurid (similar to Brachiosaurus). The 2006 description of Turiasaurus led to the describers of this genus to note similarities with the Neosodon teeth, leading to speculation that Neosodon might have been a turiasauran titanosaur.
