One of the books I have (The Marshall Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Animals) says Thecodontosaurus was found in 1843, so unless this book is downright wrong (which I doubt; it's a very good and reliable source) the creature couldn't have been described in 1836. EDIT: Whoops, forgot to sign. Jerkov 20:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Which Thecodontosaurus? There is no explanation of when and where that specimen was found, where it was when bombed, etc. 86.132.138.42 22:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

In a recent blogpost, ( http://dracovenator.blogspot.com/2009/01/littlest-sauropodomorph.html), Adam Yates considers the dubious basal sauropodomorph Thecodontosaurus minor to be probably the smallest sauropodomorph and possibly a distinct taxon because Haughton's (1924) description of its type horizon places T. minor in the Lower Elliot Formation, which means that T. minor is not a synonym of Massospondylus carinatus (contra Cooper 1981).
