Coelophysis

Genus of theropod dinosaurs from the late Triassic

Coelophysis

Coelophysis is an extinct genus of coelophysid theropod dinosaurs that lived approximately 215 to 201.4 million years ago during the late Triassic period from the middle Norian to Rhaetian age in what is now the southwestern United States. Megapnosaurus was once considered to be a species within this genus, but this interpretation has been challenged and the genus Megapnosaurus is now considered valid. Coelophysis was a small, slenderly built, ground-dwelling, bipedal carnivore that could grow up to 3 m (9.8 ft) long.
