Ebrachosaurus is an extinct genus of aetosaur. [1] It was named after the town of Ebrach, Germany, near an outcrop of the Blasensandstein Formation where the original fossils have been found. [2] Other Blasensandstein fauna include the temnospondyl Metoposaurus and the phytosaur Francosuchus . [3] The genus has often been considered synonymous with the closely related Stagonolepis . [4] [5] [6] The holotype specimen was lost during World War II, [7] so its relationships within Stagonolepididae remain indeterminant. [8]
