In Depth
The genus Agnosphitys seems to be destined to cause a lot of confusion in the future. To start there is no universal agreement upon the classification of Agnosphitys with some considering it to be an archosaur, a dinosauromorph to even a distinct saurischian dinosaur. To further add to the controversy, there has even been suggestion that the holotype remains of Agnosphitys are a chimera, which means that they may be made up of the remains of more than one creature.
