Anarosaurus is an extinct genus of pachypleurosaurs that lived in the Middle Triassic period ( Anisian) and has been found in the Jena Formation and the Karlstadt Formation of Germany and the Winterswijk Quarry ( Lower Muschelkalk) of The Netherlands. [1] Two species are known: A. pumilio (the type species) [2] and A. heterodontus. [3] The holotype of A. pumilio was originally housed at the Institut und Museum fur Geologie und Palaontologie, Georg-August-Universitat, Gottingen, but can no longer be located today because it was lost or destroyed during World War II. [4] Anarosaurus was a small reptile with an estimated body length of 50–60 cm (1.6–2.0 ft). [5]
