Apachesaurus was described from the Late TriassicRedonda Formation of eastern New Mexico as a small, diminutive genus of metoposaurid. The small elongate centra were used by Hunt to considerApachesaurus a small species of metoposaurid. However, Geeet al.demonstrated that centra referred to Apachesaurus are juveniles rather than small adults, concluding that Apachesaurusspecimens are juveniles, though they cautioned they could not determinewhether these are Anaschisma or a distincttaxon in its own right.
