Eoplophysis
''Eoplophysis'' is a genus of stegosaur known from the Middle Jurassic Cornbrash Formation, Sharp's Hill Formation, and Chipping Norton Formation of England.〔http://zoobank.org/NomenclaturalActs/866BDB21-5E62-408E-A999-F8281BD615D5〕
==Taxonomy==
It was originally named ''Omosaurus vetustus'' by the renowned German paleontologist Friedrich von Huene.〔F. v. Huene. 1910. Über den ältesten Rest von Omosaurus (Dacentrurus) im englischen Dogger (the oldest remains of Omosaurus (Dacentrurus) from the English Dogger ). Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie, Geologie und Paläontologie 1910(1):75-78.〕 The holotype, OUM J.14000, is a two feet long right femur of a juvenile individual from the Middle Jurassic (upper Bathonian) Cornbrash Formation of Oxfordshire, England, although it was probably reworked from the slightly older Forest Marble Formation in view of its eroded nature. Because of the renaming of ''Omosaurus'', an occupied name, as ''Dacentrurus'', ''O. vetustus'' was renamed into a ''Dacentrurus vetustus'' in 1964.〔O. Kuhn. 1964. Pars 105. Ornithischia (Supplementum I). In F. Westphal (ed.), Fossilium Catalogus. I: Animalia. IJssel Pers, Deventer, The Netherlands 1-80〕
In the 1980s, researcher Peter Malcolm Galton reviewed all known stegosaur material from the Bathonian of England and concluded that ''Omosaurus vetustus'' was valid and should be tentatively referred to ''Lexovisaurus''.〔Galton, P.M. and Powell, H.P., 1983, "Stegosaurian dinosaurs from the Bathonian (Middle Jurassic) of England, the earliest record of the family Stegosauridae", Geobios, 16: 219–229〕〔Galton P.M. (1985) "British plated dinosaurs (Ornithischia, Stegosauridae), Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 5: 211-254〕 However, the species was later considered a ''nomen dubium'' in both reviews of Stegosauria.〔Galton, Peter M.; Upchurch, Paul (2004). "Stegosauria (Table 16.1)." In: Weishampel, David B.; Dodson, Peter; and Osmólska, Halszka (eds.): The Dinosauria, 2nd, Berkeley: University of California Press. Pp. 344-345. ISBN 0-520-24209-2.〕〔P. M. Galton. 1990. Stegosauria. The Dinosauria, D. B. Weishampel, P. Dodson, & H. Osmólska (editors), University of California Press, Berkeley 435-455〕 In their alpha-taxonomic review of stegosaurs, Susannah Maidment and her colleagues noted that OUM J.14000 shares characters present in both sauropods and stegosaurs, but that it lacks synapomorphies exclusive to Stegosauria and assigned it as a Dinosauria indet.〔S. C. R. Maidment, D. B. Norman, P. M. Barrett and P. Upchurch. 2008. Systematics and phylogeny of Stegosauria (Dinosauria: Ornithischia). Journal of Systematic Palaeontology 6(4):367-407〕 Nevertheless, the amateur paleontologist Roman Ulansky coined the new genus ''Eoplophysis'' ("Dawn Armed Form") for ''O. vetustus'', noting differences with the femora of other stegosaurs.〔Ulansky, R. E., 2014. Evolution of the stegosaurs (Dinosauria; Ornithischia). Dinologia, 35 pp. (Russian ). (PDF ) http://dinoweb.narod.ru/Ulansky_2014_Stegosaurs_evolution.pdf.〕
