A literature review showed that there is not a defined consensus on what specimens belong to    Plateosaurus    in current phylogenetic analyses, and after the assignation of  SMNS  13200 as the neotype for    Plateosaurus   , the specimen composition of    Plateosaurus    as an operational taxonomic unit ( OTU ) needs to be addressed in further iterations of phylogenetic analyses. At least one of the specimens used to illustrate plateosaurian anatomy contains several characters identified in more derived sauropodomorphs commonly referred to as massopodans. This partial skeleton, traditionally known as specimen ‘ GPIT  IV’, was found in the lower dinosaur bone bed of the Obere Mühle, a Trossingen Formation outcrop, during an excavation in 1922 near the city of Tübingen, Germany. The holotype of    Plateosaurus   trossingensis    and several other specimens referred to as this species were found in this level, which was initially interpreted as a synchronic deposit of animals. However, the current understanding of the Trossingen Formation indicates that this bed was probably a constant accumulation of carcasses through miring and transport down a river for hundreds of years. In this work, a framework to compare phylogenetic signals with morphological and histological data is provided to help in the species delineation of    Plateosaurus   , and support is found to refer the historic specimen ‘ GPIT  IV’ as a new genus and a new species.
