==== Choristoderes ==== [[File:Coeruleodraco paratype.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.6|Skeleton of ''[[Coeruleodraco]]'']] The earliest known remains of [[Choristodera]], a group of freshwater aquatic reptiles with uncertain affinities to other reptile groups, are found in the Middle Jurassic. Only two genera of choristodere are known from the Jurassic. One is the small lizard-like ''[[Cteniogenys]]'', thought to be the most basal known choristodere; it is known from the Middle to Late Jurassic of Europe and Late Jurassic of North America, with similar remains also known from the upper Middle Jurassic of Kyrgyzstan and western Siberia.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Matsumoto |first1=R. |last2=Evans |first2=S.
