<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="nyasasaurus-parringtoni"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Nyasasaurus parringtoni is a Middle Triassic dinosauriform from the Manda Formation of Tanzania. Possibly the oldest known dinosaur at ~243 Ma, or a very close dinosaur relative, it documents the earliest phase of dinosaur evolution.
Time Period
Nyasasaurus parringtoni lived during the Triassic Middle period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 247.2 to 237.0 million years ago.
The middle Triassic saw the continued recovery of life and the emergence of early dinosauriforms. Archosaurs diversified into the ancestors of both dinosaurs and crocodilians.
