[1] R. reseri was named on the basis of isolated scutes found at Apache Canyon and Shark Tooth Hill in Quay County, New Mexico.

An equivalent reinterpretation of Redondasuchus' osteoderm was first described in a peer-reviewed journal by Spielmann et al. (2006), a review of the taxon published in the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin.

[5] In 2007, Martz, along with fellow paleontologists Darren Naish, Mike Taylor, and Matt Wedel, publicly accused Spielmann et al. of committing plagiarism.

[5] This controversy was connected to a similar allegation of ethical misconduct and editorial mismanagement related to an aetosaur paper published by NMMNH staff in December 2006.

[8] After requests for a New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs inquiry, Martz et al.'s allegations, as well as those of Parker, were reviewed and rejected in a 2008 NMMNH meeting which was subsequently reported by Lucas.

Lucas's report phrased the omittance of Martz's identification as an "oversight" by Spielmann et al. (2006), and also argued that pre-2002 papers on the topic presented "inconsistencies" rather than a specific argument on orientation.

The SVP report did not "absolve either party from responsibility", and also criticize the editorial and regulatory practices of the NMMNH and its staff, the lack of communication or collaboration experienced during the situation, and the difficulty in proving plagiarism or conflicts of interest in paleontological work.

[11] Heckert et al. (1996) considered Redondasuchus to be part of an advanced grade of aetosaurs that also included Neoaetosauroides, Longosuchus, Desmatosuchus, Paratypothorax, and Typothorax.
