As for genus (monospecific genus)

Notes

Kimmerosaurus is known only from the skull and first few (rather crushed) cervical vertebrae. Colymbosaurus, which occurs in the same formations, is known only from post-cranial elements. Both have been identified as Crytoclidids, and there is a possiblity that they are the same taxon.
