Eichstaettisaurus schroederi
Taxonomy
Ardeosaurus schroederi was named by Broili (1938). Its type specimen is BSPHM 1937 I 1 a and b, a skeleton (a complete skeleton in dorsal view (part and counterpart)), and it is a compression fossil. Its type locality is Wintershof Quarry, Eichstätt, Solnhofen, which is in a Tithonian lagoonal/restricted shallow subtidal lime mudstone in the Solnhofen Formation of Germany.
It was recombined as Broilisaurus schroederi by Hoffstetter (1953); it was synonymized subjectively with Eichstaettisaurus digitatellus by Cocude-Michel (1963); it was recombined as Eichstaettisaurus schroederi by Hoffstetter (1964), Evans et al. (2004).

Diagnosis

|---|---|---|
| S. E. Evans et al. 2004 | Species of Eichstaettisaurus in which traces of the mid-parietal and mid-frontal suture may remain after the rest of the suture has closed; interorbital frontal width roughly 32 per cent of the width at the frontoparietal suture; frontal and parietal equal in width at suture, in contact laterally, and with postfrontal applied to their lateral margins; frontoparietal suture smooth, with parietal margin broadly convex and frontal margin slightly concave. |
