Because the finds were hardly known on the one hand, and on the other hand were assigned - albeit incorrectly - to known dinosaurs, they received little scientific attention. This changed when the paleontologist and specialist for fossil amphibians at the Museum am Löwentor in Stuttgart, Dr. Rainer Schoch, was given access to silicon casts of the bone impressions, which were available as hollow molds. During the processing, Dr. Schoch concluded that the Heimarshausen finds were the remains of Triassic caudate amphibians, as they had already been found in the 1920s in a quarry near Queck (Vogelsbergkreis), as the only location worldwide. One of the most important German vertebrate paleontologists Friedrich von Huene (1875-1969) introduced the new genus and species Sclerothorax hypselonotus for the Queck finds.
