==Discovery and naming== The holotype, KUVP 441, consists of a pelvic girdle, limb elements, and more than fifty cervical (neck) vertebrae from a juvenile discovered in Cloud County, Kansas by C. Boyce in 1909. KUVP 441 was named as Ogmodirus martini by Williston & Moodie (1913) and the specific name was emended to martinii by Moodie (1916), but the original name takes precedence. The holotype was described in detail by Williston & Moodie (1917).
