Chonespondylus is now considered the same as Cymbospondylus, so the name is not used anymore.1

Its fossils were found in rocks that were once the bottom of a warm, shallow sea.2
Chonespondylus had a long, slender body and a tail fin, like a fish, but it was a reptile that breathed air.1
It was a fast swimmer and probably chased after schools of fish.4
