==Classification==
Previous to the discovery of adult specimens of ''Mussaurus'', the [[phylogenetic]] position of this taxon was difficult to establish. Infant and juvenile fossils are known to show more [[basal (phylogenetics)|basal]] traits than adult specimens of the same taxon. Furthermore, the recently discovered of one subadult and three adult specimens assigned to ''Mussaurus'' are more complete than other material assigned to it. Therefore, a cladistic analysis of basal sauropodomorphs performed by Otero and Pol (2013) to test the phylogenetic relationships of ''Mussaurus'', included information only from adult specimens. The following [[cladogram]] is simplified after their analysis (relationships outside [[Plateosauria]] are not shown).<ref name=OP13/>
