Project 4085: H. Sues, M. D. Ezcurra, R. R. Schoch. 2022. Eifelosaurus triadicus Jaekel, 1904, a “forgotten” reptile from the Upper Buntsandstein (Triassic: Anisian) of the Eifel region, Germany. PalZ. 96 (2):275-287.
Specimen: Eifelosaurus triadicus (IGPB/JAEKEL:1)
View: Ventral view of partial skeleton

Abstract

We provide a detailed description of the poorly known reptile Eifelosaurus triadicus Jaekel, 1904 from the Upper Buntsandstein (Triassic: early Anisian) of Oberbettingen in the southwestern Eifel region of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The holotype and only known specimen is a partial postcranial skeleton exposed in ventral view. Since its original description Eifelosaurus triadicus has been almost completely ignored in the literature. Our phylogenetic analysis recovered this taxon within Rhynchosauria and Rhynchosauridae, as the sister taxon to the clade composed of Stenaulorhynchinae + the hyperodapedontine-line of rhynchosaurids. A unique combination of character states allows distinguishing Eifelosaurus triadicus from other rhynchosaur species with preserved matching postcranial bones. Thus, we tentatively consider this taxon valid until more information about Early to Middle Triassic rhynchosaurs becomes available. Eifelosaurus triadicus represents a paleobiogeographically important record, showing that rhynchosaurs had already attained a broad paleolatitudinal distribution, ranging from present-day South Africa to Germany, by the early Middle Triassic.
