Chonespondylus is now considered the same as Cymbospondylus, so the name is not used anymore.1
It lived about 250 to 237 million years ago, during the Triassic Period.4
Its fossils were found in rocks that were once the bottom of a warm, shallow sea.2
Chonespondylus had a long, slender body and a tail fin, like a fish, but it was a reptile that breathed air.1
It was a fast swimmer and probably chased after schools of fish.4
