      The problem is that Nothosaurus isn't a dinosaur.  It is a marine
reptile that has (I think) a much closer relationship to plesiosaurs.  I
am sure someone on the list can fill you in a little better, but your
students will probably have a much more difficult time finding information
on Nothosaurus then on a bona-fide dinosaur.
      I applaud thier efforts to go for something original though, instead
of restricitng themselves to the popular favorites like _Velociraptor_ or
_T.rex_.
