Coelophysis is one of the earliest known dinosaur genera, living about 215 to 201 million years ago.1

A huge pile of hundreds of Coelophysis skeletons was found at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico in 1947.2

Coelophysis had about 26 teeth in its upper jaw and 27 in its lower jaw.1

Its arms were flexible but weak, so it probably hunted animals much smaller than itself.1

Coelophysis was very light, weighing only about as much as a big dog.2

Some scientists once thought Coelophysis was the same as another dinosaur called Rioarribasaurus, but now most agree they are different.1

tias dumondas

Las dumondas las pli frequentas davart Coelophysis

?How big was Coelophysis?

Coelophysis was small, growing up to about 3 metres (9.8 feet) long. It weighed only about 18 to 23 kg (40 to 50 pounds).1 2

?What did Coelophysis eat?

Coelophysis was a carnivore, meaning it ate meat. It probably hunted small, fast animals like lizards and early mammal relatives.1 2

?When did Coelophysis live?

Coelophysis lived during the Late Triassic period, about 215 to 201 million years ago.1

?Where was Coelophysis found?

Coelophysis fossils have been found in the southwestern United States, especially in New Mexico. Similar animals have been found in South Africa and Zimbabwe.1 3

?How fast could Coelophysis run?

Maybe up to about 43 km/h (27 mph), faster than a fast human runner. This is an estimate from its size. It had long legs and a light body, made for running.1 3

?Why is Coelophysis called Coelophysis?

The name Coelophysis means 'hollow form', because its limb bones were hollow. This made its body light and helped it be a swift hunter.3

?Did Coelophysis have feathers?

Scientists don't know for sure if Coelophysis had feathers. No feathers have been found with its fossils, but some related dinosaurs may have had them.1

?Was Coelophysis bigger than a human?

Coelophysis was about 3 metres (9.8 feet) long, which is longer than a human is tall, but it was very light, weighing only about 18 to 23 kg (40 to 50 pounds).1 2

?Could Coelophysis swim?

There is no evidence that Coelophysis could swim. It was a land-dwelling dinosaur that ran on two legs.1

?Is Coelophysis a dinosaur?

Yes, Coelophysis is a dinosaur. It was a small theropod dinosaur, which means it was a meat-eating dinosaur that walked on two legs.1 3

Chatschader da mitus

Mitus: Coelophysis swallowed its young whole.

Vardad: A fossil once thought to show a baby Coelophysis inside an adult is actually a different reptile or a mistake. There is no proof it ate its own young.1
