Ontdekking
The fossils were discovered by Reverend William D. Fox on the Isle of Wight, England. Richard Owen first named them Poekilopleuron pusillus in 1876, but Harry Govier Seeley gave them the new name Aristosuchus in 1887.1
Steeds omstrede
Scientists still debate whether Aristosuchus is really a distinct species or if its fossils belong to another dinosaur.2
