1

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

2

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

3

The only fossil of Procompsognathus is badly crushed and was found in three sandstone blocks.12

4

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

5

Procompsognathus lived during the Late Triassic period, about 210 million years ago.12

6

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