Nothosaurus

==Summary==
Nothosaurus is a genus of sauropterygian reptiles that lived around 240–210 million years ago, throughout the mid to late Triassic. Its name comes from the Greek words νόθος (nothos), which means "illegitimate," and σαῦρος (sauros), which means "lizard." It was widespread throughout the world, with 12 species having been found in North Africa, Europe, and China, inhabiting the ancient Tethys Ocean and its shores. These sea reptiles were likely related to plesiosaurs and pliosaurs that would later emerge, with Nothosaur-like reptiles thought to have given rise to them.
