Dinocephalosaurus (meaning "terrible-headed reptile") is a genus of long necked, aquatic protorosaur that inhabited the Triassic seas of China. The genus contains the type and only known species, D. orientalis , which was named by Chun Li in 2003.
Trachelosauridae [1] (also known as Dinocephalosauridae) [2] is an extinct clade of archosauromorph reptiles that lived throughout the Triassic period. Like their close relatives the tanystropheids, they were "protorosaur"-grade archosauromorphs characterized by their long necks.
Redescription of the skeletal anatomy of Dinocephalosaurus orientalis is published by Spiekman et al. (2024), who interpret D. orientalis as adapted to more open waters than Tanystropheus hydroides, and consider the similarities between Dinocephalosaurus and Tanystropheus to be largely convergent.

Newly-discovered fossils have allowed scientists to reveal a 240-million-year-old “dragon” in its entirety for the first ever time, National Museums Scotland (NMS) said in a statement on Friday.
According to the phylogenetic definition given by Spiekman et al., the clade Tanysauria includes all taxa that are more closely related to Tanystropheus longobardicus, Dinocephalosaurus orientalis, and Trachelosaurus fischeri than to Protorosaurus speneri, Prolacerta broomi, Mesosuchus browni, Azendohsaurus madagaskarensis, or Proterosuchus ...
Protorosauria is an extinct, likely paraphyletic group of basal archosauromorph reptiles from the latest Middle Permian (Capitanian stage) to the end of the Late Triassic (Rhaetian stage) of Asia, Europe and North America.
