<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="thecodontosaurus-minimus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Thecodontosaurus minimus is a very small-bodied species of Thecodontosaurus from Lesotho, representing an unusually miniaturized prosauropod. Its diminutive size may reflect island dwarfism or simply represent the juvenile form of a larger species.
Time Period
Thecodontosaurus minimus 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.
