How fast was it?
Anndal belɗungal
Nyasasaurus lived about 243 million years ago, which is 10 to 15 million years earlier than other known dinosaurs.1
Its bones show a fast growth rate, similar to early dinosaurs like Coelophysis, which suggests it was warm-blooded.1
The first fossils were found in the 1930s, but they were not officially named until 2013.1
The name was first used in 1967 but without a proper description, so it was considered a 'naked name' until 2013.1
Some scientists think Nyasasaurus might be the ancestor of all dinosaurs, but others think it was just a close relative.12
The fossils are so incomplete that scientists cannot even agree if it was a meat-eater or a plant-eater.1

?When did Nyasasaurus live?
It lived about 243 million years ago, during the Middle Triassic period. That is 10 to 15 million years earlier than other known dinosaurs.12
?Where was Nyasasaurus found?
Its fossils were found in Tanzania, Africa, near Lake Nyasa. The first bones were collected in the 1930s.1
