Comment

Nothosaurus ("false lizard", from the Ancient Greek nothos (νόθος), "illegitimate", and sauros (σαῦρος), "lizard") is an extinct genus of sauropterygian reptile from the Triassic period, approximately 240-210 million years ago, with fossils being distributed from North Africa and Europe to China.

Interesting fact

The Triassic 20 Euro coin from Austria, minted in 2013, features a unique design that showcases the diversity of life on Earth during the Triassic period, which occurred around 250 million years ago. The coin's reverse side features a depiction of a Triassic landscape with various flora and fauna, including a large dinosaur-like creature in the center. This coin is part of a series of four coins issued by the Austrian Mint that year, each representing a different geological era in Earth's history.
