Fragmentary postcranial remains of this animal have been discovered in 2001 in the Xinlong Formation of Guangxi, and consist of the left ilium, left pubis, anterior caudals, most of the dorsal ribs, and distal end of the left femur. This sauropod has been described as a basal titanosauriform. The type species is F. zhaoi, named in honour of Chinese paleontologist Zhao Xijin.
