Status of Caseosaurus

Hunt et. al. (1998) decided that a illium referred to Chindesaurus by Long and Murry (1995) should be considered a monospecific genus instead, which they named Caseosaurus. Langer (2004) placed Caseosaurus in synonymy with Chindesaurus without further comment, implying that the holotype of Caseosaurus is identical to Chindesaurus. However, Nesbitt et. al. (2007), in their re-evaluation of North America's Late Triassic dinosaurs, declared Caseosaurus a dinosaur of uncertain affinities.
