Datos curiosos

1

Nyasasaurus lived about 243 million years ago, which is 10 to 15 million years earlier than other known dinosaurs.1

2

Its bones show a fast growth rate, similar to early dinosaurs like Coelophysis, which suggests it was warm-blooded.1

3

The first fossils were found in the 1930s, but they were not officially named until 2013.1

4

The name was first used in 1967 but without a proper description, so it was considered a 'naked name' until 2013.1

5

Some scientists think Nyasasaurus might be the ancestor of all dinosaurs, but others think it was just a close relative.12

6

The fossils are so incomplete that scientists cannot even agree if it was a meat-eater or a plant-eater.1
