It was first excavated by Riley and Stutchbury in 1834, and they published a preliminary description in 1835. When they assigned the remains to a new taxon, which they named Thecodontosaurus, they did not assign a species. The genus was not originally recognized as a dinosaur, with Riley and Stutchbury finding it a saurian.frameless Pterosaurs William Buckland depicted pterosaurs as cliff-climbing winged reptiles in a manner heavily influenced by Goldfuss. wellnhofer-2008 Wellnhofer, Peter 2008 A short history of pterosaur research.
