3

Some scientists used to think Herrerasaurus was not a true dinosaur, but now most agree it was an early theropod.2

4

Herrerasaurus is the type genus of the family Herrerasauridae, a group of early meat-eating dinosaurs.2

5

The first fossils were found in 1963, but a complete skull and skeleton were not unearthed until 1992.15

As preguntas máis frecuentes sobre Herrerasaurus

?How big was Herrerasaurus?

Herrerasaurus was about 6 metres (20 feet) long and weighed around 350 kilograms (770 pounds). Smaller specimens were about 4.5 metres (15 feet) long and weighed about 200 kilograms (440 pounds).4

?When did Herrerasaurus live?

Herrerasaurus lived during the Late Triassic period, about 231 to 228 million years ago, during the Carnian age. That's very early in dinosaur history.4

?Where was Herrerasaurus found?

Herrerasaurus fossils have been found in the Ischigualasto Formation in northwestern Argentina, South America. The first specimen was discovered in 1958 by a rancher named Victorino Herrera.4

?Was Herrerasaurus a dinosaur?

Yes, Herrerasaurus is considered an early dinosaur. For many years scientists debated whether it was a true dinosaur, but now most agree it was an early saurischian dinosaur, possibly a primitive theropod.4
