The allure of
Asilisaurus is the fact that it is such a basic Middle Triassic early Dinosauriforme. Some trees have it sitting at the base of the Ornithodiran tree thereby including, potentially, Pterosauria. However, this tree, from lead author Sterling Nesbitt, places
Asilisaurus outside the Pterosauria but at the base of all dinosaurs. Hopefully there is resolution with this tree. If not, it could, and probably is, actually in flux. Regardless, there is no popular culture life for
Asilisaurus as yet, though it is a quite important fossil animal.
