Nichollsemys

Nichollsemys is a genus of extinct sea turtles.

The name of Nichollsemys is a tribute to Elizabeth Nicholls, a paleontologist from Canada who studied marine reptiles from the Triassic period.

She had previously done work with Brinkman when they found the ichthyosaur genus Parvinatator.

[5] The cranium has many things in common with that of Toxochelys: for example, they both have a rostrum basisphenoidale shaped like a rod.
