A 1919 expedition led by [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] paleontologist [[Phillipe d'Everard (paleontologist)|Phillipe d'Everard]] uncovered remains of ''Joanusaurus'' in the mountains of the [[Caphiria|Caphirian]] province [[Iscasta]]. d'Everard initially viewed the specimen as a subadult ''J. davignoni'', but upon closer inspection it was recategorized as a new subspecies, ''J. iscastae''. ''J. iscastae'' differs from ''J. davignoni'' by its longer snout and smaller physical stature, with the largest known specimen, CJI 209, being 9 meters (30 ft) long as opposed to the the largest ''J. davignoni'', JSNH 432, estimated at 11.6 meters (38 feet) long. Remains of at least 15 individual ''Joanusarus'' specimens have been uncovered in [[Caphiria]] since 1919, the latest, CJHM 594, in 2018. | A 1919 expedition led by [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] paleontologist [[Phillipe d'Everard (paleontologist)|Phillipe d'Everard]] uncovered remains of ''Joanusaurus'' in the Aravera mountains of the [[Caphiria|Caphirian]] province [[Iscasta]]. d'Everard initially viewed the specimen as a subadult ''J. davignoni'', but upon closer inspection it was recategorized as a new subspecies, ''J. iscastae''.
