Trachelosaurus is an extinct genus of lizard-like early archosauromorph reptiles from the Protorosauria within the monotypic family Trachelosauridae[1] that was originally described as a dinosaur[2] until it was redescribed in 1988 by Robert L. Carroll.[3] The type species, T. fischeri, was described by F. Broili & E. Fischer in 1917[2] based on remains found in the Solling Formation (Buntsandstein), Bernburg, Germany .[4]
