历史
桨龙是由哈利·丝莱（Harry Govier Seeley）为褶皱蛇颈龙（Plesiosaurus rugosus Owen 1840）所创建。Seeley, H. G., 1874, Note on some of the generic modifications of the plesiosaurian pectoral arch: Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, 1874, p. 436-449.理查德·欧文（Richard Owen）已为来自格洛斯特郡早侏罗世及英国其它未知地区的大量椎骨命名了褶皱蛇颈龙。R. Owen. 1840. Report on British fossil reptiles. Report of the Ninth Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Reports on the State of Science 43-126后来欧文又描述了一件归入褶皱蛇颈龙的无头骨骼（NHMUK 14435），R. Owen. 1865. A monograph of the fossil Reptilia of the Liassic formations. Part I, Sauropterygia. Palaeontographical Society Monographs 17(75):1-40丝莱则以NHMUK 14435为基础为该物种建立新属。
