At the time it was assumed the rock dated from the Middle Jurassic (Callovian), about 163 million years ago. In 1974/1975 paleontologist Rodolfo Magín Casamiquela named the find as a new genus. The type species is "Herbstosaurus pigmaeus". The genus name honours Herbst and connects his name to Greek
