The four specimens (GSI SR/YS/1, GSI SR/YS/2, GSI SR/YS/3, and GSI SR/YS/4) are identified as tail clubs that are attributed to the basal sauropod Kotasaurus yamanpalliensis. The specimens were collected by the Geological Survey of India Southern Region (GSI SR) and, in 2018, the specimens were studied as a collaboration between GSI SR and the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology. The specimens are housed in the collections of the GSI SR (Hyderabad, India).
