Sellosaurus is the name given to a genus of prosauropod dinosaur that lived in Triassic Europe, 225 mya. Like other prosauropods, it had a thumb claw it may have used to defend itself, and reach for food.
Sellosaurus is one of the more well-known prosauropods. Over twenty skeletons have been discovered. These fossils comprise what is believed to be at least three separate species. The dinosaur Efraasia, a prosauropod from the same location, was long thought to be the same as Sellosaurus, but this has been recently disproved.

The Triassic is a geologic period that extends from about 251 to 199 Ma (million years ago). As the first period of the Mesozoic Era, the Triassic follows the Permian and is followed by the Jurassic. Both the start and end of the Triassic are marked by major extinction events.

Scientific classification or biological classification is a method by which biologists group and categorize species of organisms. Scientific classification also can be called scientific taxonomy, but should be distinguished from folk taxonomy, which lacks scientific basis.
