The only known example of the species and genus is a small skull found in the Arcadia Formation of the Crater, in Western Queensland, Australia.

The holotype specimen, QM F15000, is a partial calvarium without associated tooth material found at the Crater, near Rolleston in western Queensland.

[1] The name Namatozodia is derived from the Greek νᾶμα, nama, or stream, and zodiaion, a diminutive of animal.

Pitikanta is an Aboriginal word for 'young' in a dialect local to the area the fossil was found.

However the skull bones are fully developed, apparently sutured and mineralized, and the individual was not necessarily juvenile.
