- The clade was coined by Wang and colleagues in 2022, also including in addition to Sauropterygia Helveticosaurus, Hanosaurus and Saurosphargidae.
- A 2023 study coined a similar clade, Sauropterygomorpha to encompass Sauropterygia, as well as Eusaurosphargis and Palatodonta but not Helveticosaurus.

Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Sauropterygiformes article was read about 4,900 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 51 and blocks with 37: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
