Efraasia minor

† Efraasia minor is a basal sauropodiform dinosaur from the Late Triassic (Norian) Stubensandstein Formation of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Approximately 6 m long, it represents an early member of the sauropod lineage, capable of both biped and quadruped locomotion. Herbivorous, it fed on ferns and horsetails in the warm Triassic uplands of central Europe. Named after palaeontologist Eberhard Fraas who collected the original material, it is one of Germany's most important Triassic dinosaurs.
