This paleontological restoration is highly hypothetical, as very little fossil material of the animal is known. Use of this image might be controversial. Reason: Known only from several vertebrae and a humerus. |
Summary
| Description |
English: Nyasasaurus is a basal dinosauromorph that may be the earliest known dinosaur. It was a small bipedal animal at about 2-3 m in length. Nyasasaurus is difficult to classify due to inconclusive fossil evidence, but if it is a true dinosaur, it pushes the dinosaur lineage back about 12 million years to the Middle Triassic. |
