1

Thecodontosaurus was one of the first dinosaurs ever named, back in 1836, even before the word 'dinosaur' existed.1

2

It had five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot, with a long claw on each finger.1

3

Its tail was longer than its head, neck and body put together.1

4

Thecodontosaurus was a fast runner, and its brain and inner ear helped it keep its head steady while moving.2

5

For a long time, scientists thought Thecodontosaurus was a lizard, not a dinosaur. It was only in 1870 that Thomas Huxley showed it was a dinosaur.1

Some fossils of Thecodontosaurus were once mistaken for a dinosaur from Australia, but they actually came from England.1

7

Thecodontosaurus lived during the Late Triassic period, about 205 to 201 million years ago.2

Thecodontosaurus was discovered in 1834 by surgeon Henry Riley and curator Samuel Stutchbury in a quarry near Bristol, England. They named it in 1836, and the full species name Thecodontosaurus antiquus was given by John Morris in 1843.1
Anc discutà
Scientists are not sure whether Thecodontosaurus ate only plants or also ate small animals. Its teeth suggest it was mostly a plant-eater, but it might have eaten meat sometimes.2
