The Euskelosaurus name actually means good legged lizard. The fossils for this dinosaur were found at the Lower Elliot Formation in South Africa, Leribe inLesotho, and the Mpandi Formation, Matabeleland South in Zimbabwe.

Euskelosaurus was described in 1866 by Thomas Henry Huxley. Because of the Limb and spinal fossils that were found. It is rumored that the Euskelosaurus is actually a Plateosauravus.

Based on many estimations the Euskelosaurus may have been over 10 meters in length becuase it strangly had very large limbs unlike most dinosaurs in its family (prosauropod).
