<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="tawa-hallae"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Tawa hallae is a Late Triassic herrerasaurid or early neotheropod from the Chinle Formation of New Mexico, USA. Its nearly complete skeleton resolved longstanding questions about early dinosaur phylogeny and intercontinental dispersal via Pangaea.
Time Period
Tawa hallae 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.
