 (2007) tentatively agreed that this fossil material represents a heterodontosaurid, but stated that additional material is needed to confirm this assignment because the specimen is poorly preserved, while Sereno (2012) only stated that this material may represent an ornithischian or even specifically a heterodontosaurid.Olsen, Kent & Whiteside (2010) noted that the age of the Laguna Colorada Formation itself is poorly constrained, and thus it wasn't conclusively determined whether the putative heterodontosaurid from this formation is of Triassic or Jurassic age.The most diverse heterodontosaurid fauna comes from the Early Jurassic of southern Africa, where fossils of "Heterodontosaurus", "Abrictosaurus", "Lycorhinus", and the dubious "Geranosaurus" are found.
