Trisauropodiscus superavipes

† Trisauropodiscus superavipes is an Early Jurassic ichnospecies from Lesotho, the largest form in the Trisauropodiscus ichnogenus. These larger footprints may reflect a medium-sized theropod or ornithischian dinosaur trackmaker in Early Jurassic Gondwana.

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore

Trisauropodiscus superavipes was a meat-eating predator. Carnivorous dinosaurs were active hunters or scavengers, equipped with sharp teeth and claws for catching and consuming prey. They occupied the top of the food chain in their ecosystems.

Time Period

Jurassic Early Mesozoic Era

Trisauropodiscus superavipes lived during the Jurassic Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 201,4 to 174,7 million years ago.

After the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, dinosaurs rapidly diversified and became the dominant land vertebrates. Early sauropods and theropods began to evolve larger body sizes.
