Fatgs divertents

Procompsognathus means 'before elegant jaw' because it lived earlier than a similar dinosaur called Compsognathus.1

Its shin bone was about 20 percent longer than its thigh bone, which helped it run very fast.1

The only fossil of Procompsognathus is badly crushed and was found in three sandstone blocks.1 2

Some scientists once thought the skull belonged to a crocodile relative, but later studies showed it was a true dinosaur.1

Procompsognathus lived during the Late Triassic period, about 210 million years ago.1 2

It shared its home with other early dinosaurs like Plateosaurus and the meat-eating Halticosaurus.1
