Nesbitt is also known for his rediscovery of the archosaur ''[[Effigia okeeffeae]]'' that had remained unrecognized, encased in a plaster block at the American Museum of Natural History since its collection in the 1940s. This specimen was not described as a new species until recognized and prepared by Nesbitt in 2006.<ref name="nesbitt2007">Nesbitt, S. (2007).
