Plateosaurus is probably the best understood sauropodomorph dinosaur currently known,‭ ‬and also one of the oldest dinosaur genera.‭ ‬Named in‭ ‬1837,‭ ‬Plateosaurus actually predated the creation of the Dinosauria by Richard Owen in‭ ‬1842,‭ ‬though the genus missed out on being one of the defining dinosaur genera‭ (‬instead Owen used Megalosaurus,‭ ‬Iguanodon and Hylaeosaurus‭)‬.‭ ‬Regardless of this,‭ ‬study of Plateosaurus has revealed that in terms of contribution to the science of palaeontology,‭ ‬Plateosaurus is one of the most important dinosaurs. Plateosaurus used to be known as a prosauropod,‭ ‬but modern terminology sees it described as a sauropodomorph.‭ ‬Either way,‭ ‬what this means is that the Plateosaurus genus represents a type of dinosaur that was ancestral to the later and larger sauropods of the Jurassic.‭ ‬The sauropodomorphs also help to reveal how sauropods and theropods have a shared ancestry despite being very different animals in terms of ecological niche. Plateosaurus are most often associated with central Europe,‭ ‬especially Germany where the bulk of known specimens come from.‭ ‬Remains are known from Greenland however,‭ ‬with other remains speculated from South America.‭ ‬Plateosaurus can also go down in history as being the first dinosaur genus to be found in Norway.‭ ‬The sheer number of Plateosaurus fossils compared with the somewhat limited remains of other dinosaurs suggest that it may have been one of the most common dinosaurs in Europe during the Triassic.‭
