<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="schleitheimia-schutzi"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Schleitheimia schutzi is a Late Triassic sauropodomorph from Switzerland, one of the earliest long-necked dinosaurs in central Europe, representing an evolutionary transitional form between basal prosauropods and true sauropods.
Time Period
Schleitheimia schutzi lived during the Triassic Late period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 237.0 to 201.4 million years ago.
The first true dinosaurs appeared during the late Triassic, including early theropods like Eoraptor and Herrerasaurus. Dinosaurs were still small and not yet dominant. The period ended with the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event.
