1863 J. D. Dana Man. Geol. 498 The Enaliosaurs or Swimming Saurians of the Triassic—the Nothosaur type—have the open skull of a Batrachian.

1893 Proc. Royal Soc. 54 168 In the Nothosaur the precoracoid has ceased to be ossified, but is represented by cartilage.

1933 A. S. Romer Vertebr. Paleontol. vii. 153 A nothosaur in which this pterygoid union had not been quite completed would make an ideal plesiosaur ancestor.

1962 New Scientist 5 July 34/2 Some of the nothosaurs seem to have been very lightly built, others larger and more sturdy. They all had fairly long, flexible necks and long jaws with many pointed teeth. They must have caught their food in the shallow waters.

1988 Science 12 Feb. 780/2 The first nothosaur (Neusticosaurus sp.) embryo, one of the very few fossil embryos known, provides a rare glimpse at reproduction in extinct reptiles.
