The name reflects the fact that a large dicynodont was predicted to have existed in the lower Elliot Formation before any body fossils were recognised, and so <i>Pentasaurus</i> was named after its probable footprints. This is a reversal of the more typical occurrence where fossil footprints are named after their presumed trackmakers.

Prior to its discovery, large sauropodomorphs and dicynodonts were thought to have never ecologically coexisted, with dicynodonts either going extinct prior to large sauropodomorphs evolving or being outcompeted and driven to extinction by the herbivorous dinosaurs. <i>Pentasaurus</i> challenges these assumptions, suggesting that dicynodonts and large sauropodomorphs could be contemporaneous, and may instead have been separated through habitat and dietary preferences. Furthermore, <i>Pentasaurus</i> expands the range of stahleckeriid dicynodonts in the Late Triassic into South Africa, refuting ideas that dicynodonts were geographically restricted by the Late Triassic. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Description">Description</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pentasaurus&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Description"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The fossil remains of <i>Pentasaurus</i> are fragmented and very incomplete, so its overall morphology is poorly understood.

The robustness and position of the lateral dentary shelf far forward on the lower jaw is also unique to <i>Pentasaurus</i> among dicynodonts, as well as the thickness of its distal humerus.
