Plateosaurus is a member of a group of early herbivores known as "prosauropods". [29] The group is not a monophyletic group (thus given in quotation marks), and most researchers prefer the term basal sauropodomorph. [46] [47] Plateosaurus was the first "prosauropod" to be described, [29] and gives its name to the family Plateosauridae as the ...

Plateosauridae is a family of plateosaurian sauropodomorphs from the Late Triassic of Europe, Greenland, Africa and Asia. [1] [2] Although several dinosaurs have been classified as plateosaurids over the years, the family Plateosauridae is now restricted to Plateosaurus, Yimenosaurus, Euskelosaurus, and Issi [3].

Since 1961, at the clay pit of Gruhalde, exploited by Tonwerke Keller, numerous fossils of Plateosaurus have been found. At a somewhat higher layer, in the spring of 2006, amateur paleontologist Michael Fisher discovered the postcranial skeleton of a small theropod. In 2009, the skull was secured.
Plateosauravus ("grandfather of Plateosaurus") is a basal plateosaurian of uncertain affinities from the Late Triassic Elliot Formation of South Africa. Sidney Haughton named Plateosaurus cullingworthi in 1924 from a partial skeleton, [1] type specimen SAM 3341, 3345, 3347, 3350–51, 3603, 3607. The specific name honoured collector T.L ...
The holotype, GPIT-PV-30787, also known as "GPIT IV", is a partial postcranial skeleton. It was discovered in 1922 and stored in the paleontological collection of the university of Tübingen. It was originally assigned to the species Gresslyosaurus plieningeri . [ 2 ]
New skeleton of Plateosaurus, representing the first substantially complete specimen of a juvenile Plateosaurus and the first such specimen with a body size significantly below the known adult size range of this taxon, is described from the Norian Klettgau Formation (Switzerland) by Nau et al. (2020). [191]
