The skull has a length of 18 centimeters, and Leyesaurus has been estimated to have been about {{convert|2.5|m|ft|abbr=on}} in length. It was collected from the uppermost part of the Quebrada del Barro Formation of the Marayes-El Carrizal Basin, dating to the Lower Jurassic (based on the presence of a massospondylid like Leyesaurus within the formation). Leyesaurus was found near the locality Balde de Leyes, in the Caucete Department of San Juan Province. Within Massospondylidae, Leyesaurus was found to be most closely related to Adeopapposaurus.[1]EtymologyLeyesaurus was first named by Cecilia Apaldetti, Ricardo N. Martinez, Oscar A. Alcober and Diego Pol in 2011 and the type species is Leyesaurus marayensis. The generic name honors the Leyes family, inhabitants of the small town Balde de Leyes, who discovered the holotype and notified the paleontologists of the San Juan Museum, and saurus, Greek for "lizard". The specific name refers to the Marayes-El Carrizal Basin, where the holotype was discovered.[1]References{{Portal|Dinosaurs|Jurassic|Prehistory of South America}}1. ^1 2 {{cite journal |year=2011 |title=A New Basal Sauropodomorph (Dinosauria: Saurischia) from Quebrada del Barro Formation (Marayes-El Carrizal Basin), Northwestern Argentina |url=http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0026964 |journal=PLoS ONE |volume=6 |issue=11 |pages=e26964 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0026964 |author=Cecilia Apaldetti, Ricardo N.
