Clevosaurus
''Clevosaurus'' (CLEE-vo-SORE-us) ("Gloucester lizard") is an extinct genus of sphenodontian reptile from the Triassic and the Jurassic periods of Nova Scotia, Great Britain, (''C. bairdi'') and Yunnan (''C. mcgilli''). ''Clevosaurus'' was extremely similar to the modern tuatara in almost every way; the two genera differ in only certain features of the teeth and skull anatomies, as well as size. ''Clevosaurus'' was smaller than the modern Tuatara. ''Clevosaurus'' possibly ate plants as well as insects, as suggested by the form of the teeth. Fossils of ''Clevosaurus'', as well as other sphenodontians, early mammals and dinosaurs have been found in ancient cave systems of Great Britain. ''Clevosaurus'' is now believed to have had Pangaean distribution.〔Sues, H. D., & Reisz, R. (1995). First record of the early mesozoic sphenodontian clevosaurus (lepidosauria: rhynchocephalia) from the southern hemisphere. ''Journal of Paleontology 69''(1), 123-126.〕 ==A new find== Some fossils from South America (into Geopark Paleorrota) found in 2006 represent a new species of ''Clevosaurus'' (''C. brasiliensis'').〔Bonaparte, J. F., & Sues, H. D. (2006). A new species of clevosaurus (lepidosauria: rhynchocephalia) from the upper Triassic of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. ''Paleontology 49''(1), 917-923.〕 A new species has been named ''Clevosaurus sectumsempra'' after the spell from Harry Potter.〔 Harry Potter sectumsempra spell inspires lizard name 〕
