Fossilized remains were discovered by geology student Richard Thompson, in 1995, in the Chihuahua Desert region of the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona. Dating of the find makes this the first known brachiosaur to have lived in the middle Cretaceous Period of North America. The type species is S. thompsoni, described by Ratkevich in 1998.
