Walking with Dinosaurs: Coelophysis

Coelophysis bauri
Named by Edward Drinker Cope, 1889
Diet: Carnivore (Prey included insects, fish such as lungfish, small reptiles such as, more commonly, Hesperosuchus, a primitive crocodilian-relative, and other large reptiles, as well as scavenging on carcasses)
Type: Theropod saurischian (coelophysid) dinosaur
Size: 9.8 feet (3 meters) long and 66 lb.
Region: North America (Arizona and New Mexico, USA)
Age: Late Triassic (203 to 201.3 million BC; Rhaetian)
Enemies: Postosuchus; phytosaurs such as Redondasaurus
Episode: New Blood
Info: This small, agile, bipedal dinosaur was first described in the 1880's by Edward Drinker Cope, but it was in 1947 that a team from New York's American Museum of Natural History led by paleontologist Edwin Colbert found a bonebed in the Ghost Ranch, New Mexico that contains hundreds of complete, good skeletons humbled together in what seems to be a mass death of some unknown disaster, making this one of the best-known theropods of the Late Triassic. As a result, Coelophysis became New Mexico's State Fossil.

Note: Based on Gregory S. Paul's work. Originally I was gonna make and add a robust morph female with the gracile male  to show sexual dimorphism, but there wasn't enough time. 

You know, I kinda think that the Sea Monsters coelurosaur was Coelophysis because they used the same model of the latter, but the coloration was brownish-tan instead of yellow-green. So yeah I'm not doing the unnamed coelurosaur.

And that completes the Triassic. Next up, we move to the Jurassic, the Age of Giants!
