Lepidus was a small, meat-eating dinosaur that lived in what is now Texas, USA, during the Late Triassic period. It was one of the earliest neotheropods, a group that includes famous dinosaurs like Coelophysis. Scientists know it from just a few bones, including an ankle and a piece of its upper jaw.2 1

Iinyani ezimnandi

Lepidus was named in 2015 by scientists Sterling Nesbitt and Martín Ezcurra.2

Its name comes from Latin and means 'fascinating' or 'charming'.1

Lepidus is known from only a few bones: an ankle, a piece of the upper jaw, and a thigh bone.1

It lived during the Norian stage of the Late Triassic, about 227 to 205 million years ago.2

Lepidus was a coelophysoid neotheropod, meaning it was more closely related to Coelophysis than to Allosaurus.1

The fossils were found near the famous Otis Chalk localities in Texas, which are among the oldest dinosaur sites in North America.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Lepidus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Lepidus esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Lepidus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Nesbitt and Ezcurra 20152
Iqela: Iidayinaso ezitya inyama
Usapho / iclade: Coelophysidae2
Ukuhlelwa: Theropoda > Coelophysoidea2
Ubudala bamatye: 227 ukuya ku-206 izigidi zeminyaka (Norian)2
Amazwe: iUSA2
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database2
Ukufunyanwa: Lepidus was discovered by a Works Progress Administration paleontology team in the 1940s, but it was not named until 2015 by Sterling Nesbitt and Martín Ezcurra.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly how old the Lepidus fossils are, because the rocks where they were found have not been dated with radiometric methods.1
