OverviewCoelophysoids were common dinosaurs of the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic periods. They were widespread geographically, probably living on all continents. Coelophysoids were all slender, carnivorous forms with a superficial similarity to the coelurosaurs, with which they were formerly classified, and some species had delicate cranial crests. Sizes range from about 1 to 6 m in length. It is unknown what kind of external covering coelophysoids had, and various artists have portrayed them as either scaly or feathered. Some species may have lived in packs, as inferred from sites where numerous individuals have been found together. Well-known examples of coelophysoids include Coelophysis, Liliensternus, and possibly Dilophosaurus. Most dinosaurs formerly referred to as being in the dubious taxon Podokesauridae are now classified as coelophysoids Full Product DetailsAuthor: Gundula Chantel LucePublisher: VDM Publishing House Imprint: VDM Publishing House Dimensions: Width: 22.90cm , Height: 0.40cm , Length: 15.20cm Weight: 0.131kg ISBN: 9786130887483ISBN 10: 6130887485 Pages: 80 Publication Date: 24 June 2010 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
