1

Mbiresaurus is the oldest definitive dinosaur ever found in Africa, dating back to the Carnian stage about 235 million years ago.1

2

Its nearly complete skeleton was found in Zimbabwe, making it one of the most complete early dinosaur skeletons from Africa.1

3

Mbiresaurus lived in a time when dinosaurs were not yet spread across the whole world. Climate belts, not continents, controlled where they could live.1

4

The rocks where Mbiresaurus was found are part of the Pebbly Arkose Formation, which is about 209 million years old or older.2

5

Mbiresaurus was a sauropodomorph, a group of long-necked dinosaurs that later included giants like Brachiosaurus.6

?How big was Mbiresaurus?

Mbiresaurus was about 1.8 metres (6 feet) long, including its long tail. It weighed somewhere between 9 and 29 kilograms (20 to 65 pounds).3

?What did Mbiresaurus eat?

Mbiresaurus was a plant-eater, but it might also have eaten some meat. It had small, serrated, triangle-shaped teeth, which suggests it was an herbivore or possibly an omnivore.3

?When did Mbiresaurus live?

Mbiresaurus lived about 230 million years ago, during the Carnian stage of the Late Triassic period. That makes it one of the oldest dinosaurs ever found in Africa.35

?Where was Mbiresaurus found?

Mbiresaurus was found in northern Zimbabwe, in the Mbire District. Its nearly complete skeleton was discovered in the Pebbly Arkose Formation during digs in 2017 and 2019.53

Anc discutà
Scientists are still debating exactly how early dinosaurs spread across the supercontinent Pangaea, and whether climate or other factors controlled their distribution.1
