Triassic Switzerland

Tanystropheus (~ 'long' + 'hinged') is an extinct genus of archosauromorph reptile which lived during the Triassic Period in Europe, Asia, and North America. It is recognisable by its extremely elongated neck, longer than the torso and tail combined. The neck was composed of 13 vertebrae strengthened by extensive cervical ribs. Tanystropheus is one of the most well-described non-archosauriform archosauromorphs, known from numerous fossils, including nearly complete skeletons. Some species within the genus may have reached a total length of , making Tanystropheus the longest non-archosauriform

Ticinosuchus is an extinct genus of suchian archosaur (distantly related to modern crocodilians) from the Middle Triassic (Anisian–Ladinian) of Switzerland and Italy. The genus name means "Ticino crocodile" due to its origin from the Swiss canton Ticino. It is one of the only terrestrial animals found in the Besano Formation, a fossil-rich lagerstätte on Monte San Giorgio renowned for its marine fauna (including different groups of fossil fishes, ichthyosaurs, tanystropheids, nothosaurs and placodonts, among others).

Serpianosaurus (meaning "Serpiano lizard") is an extinct genus of pachypleurosaurs known from the Middle Triassic (late Anisian and early Ladinian stages) deposits of Switzerland and Germany. It was a small reptile, with the type specimen of S. mirigiolensis measuring long.

Hallautherium is an extinct genus of morganucodont mammaliaforms from the Late Triassic of Europe. The type species H. schalchi is known from the Klettgau Formation of Switzerland. In addition, a molariform tooth referable to the genus has been found in Poland.

Strophodus is an extinct genus of durophagous hybodont known from the Triassic to Cretaceous. It was formerly confused with Asteracanthus.
