Excerpt: Aetonyx (meaning "eagle claw," referring to its claws, which were like those of an eagle (Greek /aetos = eagle + /onyx = claw) was the name given to the fossilized remains of Early Jurassic dinosaur which lived around 198 million years ago during the Hettangian stage. It used to be classified as a carnosaur, but has since been identified with Massospondylus, a prosauropod. Aetonyx is now, therefore, an invalid name. Before the confusion was clarified, the type species was recorded as A. palustris. It was named by Robert Broom (1866 - 1951), South African palaeontologist, in 1911. The fossil was found in South Africa. Anchisauria is a clade of sauropodomorph dinosaurs that lived during the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic. The name Anchisauria was first used by Galton and Upchurch in the second edition of The Dinosauria. Galton and Upchurch assigned two families of dinosaurs to the Anchisauria: the Anchisauridae and the Melanorosauridae, of which Anchisaurus and Melanorosaur...
