Plateosaurus gracilis, the older species, is found in the Löwenstein Formation (Lower Norian).
P. engelhardti stems from the upper Löwenstein Formation (Upper Norian), the Trossingen Formation (Upper Norian), and equivalently aged rock units.
Plateosaurus thus lived probably from approximately 214 to 204 million years ago.
