Aardonyx is an advanced non-sauropod sauropodomorph, in particuliar a basal anchisaur. It has both carecteristics of both bipeds and quadrapeds, and is around the time in plateosaurian evolution when they where starting to transition from the former to the latter. It was described in 2010.^[1]^[2]^[3]
