{# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Key differences (from DinoComparison model) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}

主要差异

  • Both lived in the Late Triassic, among the earliest dinosaurs, but in different regions: Coelophysis in North America, Plateosaurus in Europe.
  • Plateosaurus (8 m, ~700 kg) was much larger than Coelophysis (3 m, ~20 kg).
  • Plateosaurus was an early herbivore (prosauropod); Coelophysis was a slender carnivore.
  • Mass death assemblages have been found for both — Coelophysis at Ghost Ranch, Plateosaurus in Germany — suggesting gregarious behavior.
  • Both represent the initial radiation of dinosaurs before they dominated the Mesozoic world.
