Discovery and naming

The holotype was discovered in the Isalo III Formation before 1894 by Joseph Thomas Last,[4] and were briefly noted on by Paul Lemoine in 1906.[1] Armand Thevenin (1861-1942) was the first to diagnose Narindasaurus. In 1907, he placed it within the now obsolete species "Bothriospondylus madagascariensis",[2] which is now known as Lapparentosaurus.[5] It was briefly mentioned in 1972[6] and it was reevaluated in 2008 and 2010 as both a distinct taxon and a non-neosauropod eusauropod.[7][8] It was classified as a turiasaur in 2015.[9] The species Narindasaurus thevenini was formally named in 2020.[3]

The holotype consists of a partial skeleton composed by a right maxillary or premaxillary tooth (MNHN MAJ 423), an anterior caudal vertebra (MNHN MAJ 424), a posterior caudal vertebra (MNHN MAJ 426), a middle-anterior chevron (MNHN MAJ 425), a right ulna (MNHN MAJ 427), a right tibia (MNHN MAJ 428), a right fibula with a distal chevron attached (MNHN MAJ 429) and a left pubis (MNHN MAJ 430).[2][3]
