<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="efraasia-minor"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† 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.
Time Period
Efraasia minor lived during the Triassic Late period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 237.0 to 201.4 million years ago.
The first true dinosaurs appeared during the late Triassic, including early theropods like Eoraptor and Herrerasaurus. Dinosaurs were still small and not yet dominant. The period ended with the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event.
