Herbstosaurus Herbstosaurus Herbstosaurus is the name given to a genus of pterosaur that lived during the Jurassic period, in what is now Argentina. In 1969 Argentine paleobotanist Rafael Herbst in the province Neuquén at Picun Leufú dug up a piece of sandstone holding a number of disarticulated bones of a small reptile. 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
Burton's legless lizard "L. burtonis" is not a priority for conservation as it is Australia's most widespread reptile and inhabits almost all Australian habitat types with only a few exceptions. In addition, it is not known how abundant Burton’s legless lizard is, but there has been no indication that this species is rare or rapidly declining. Consequently, while Burton’s legless lizard has not been assessed for an IUCN conservation status yet, it is predicted with a fair degree of confidence that it would be given the status of "least concern".
