Its remains were discovered in the Solnhofen limestone formations, the same formations that have yielded numerous well-known fossils, such as Archaeopteryx, Compsognathus and Pterodactylus. Originally described by Wagner (1853) as Ichthyosaurus leptospondylus, it has had an unstable taxonomic history. It has also been named Ichthyosaurus trigonus posthumus, and identified with Macropterygius and Brachypterygius extremus. In 2000 Bardet and Fernandez concluded that the fossil material should be assigned to a new genus, Aeg...
