Description:
The marine Triassic rocks of Nevada are well known for their ichthyosaur finds, and a number of new genera and species were described from this state. Based on a few vertebrae, Leidy (1868) erected a new Middle Triassic ichthyosaur genus, Cymbospondylys, with two species, C. petrinus and C. piscosus. The type material of C. petrinus came from the Prida Formation of the southern Humboldt Range, and that of C. piscosus from the Favret Formation of the New Pass Range.
