Talk:Phytosaur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chatterjee (2001) petitioned the ICZN to designate a complete phytosaur skeleton excavated from India as the neotype of Parasuchus hislopi. In 2003, the ICZN agreed with this case, and Parasuchus was redefined to have a neotype. Thus, the original type specimen, a fragmentary jaw, is the primary type specimen.
