Massospondylus was one amongst the first dinosaurs to be named with a taxonomic history going back as far as the mid nineteenth century.‭ ‬Yet‭ ‬when Richard Owen described the first fossils,‭ ‬he thought that he was dealing with an ancient ancestor to more familiar lizards such‭ ‬as iguanas chameleons.‭ ‬In actuality Massospondylus represents a genus of sauropodomorph dinosaur,‭ ‬a group of dinosaurs that links the later sauropods to their bipedal saurischian ancestors. Partly due to its long age and also a lack of understanding about dinosaurs in the early years of palaeontology,‭ ‬Massospondylus ended up with more fossil material than was necessary,‭ ‬resulting in a large number of species being established for the genus.‭ ‬Studies by later palaeontologists however have now found that many of these species actually represent other genera,‭ ‬leaving only the type species M.‭ ‬carinatus,‭ ‬as well as one other species M.‭ ‬kaalae being valid as of‭ ‬2014.‭ ‬Some other genera of sauropodomorph dinosaurs have also been considered to be synonyms to Massospondylus,‭ ‬though opinions as to which are correct varies between different palaeontologists.
