At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Eucoelophysis is known from the complete research of bones gathered from the Chinle Formation. It is named based on its similarities with the coelophysid dinosaurs. They are named Eucoelophysis which in literal terms means 'true hollow form'. It was considered to be similar to the coleophysids for a long time in history until Nesbitt suggested another explanation after his research. It was suggested that Eucoelophysis was actually not a true dinosaur and these early dinosaurs were basal dinosauriforms of the Silesauridae family and a close relative of Silesaurus.
Eucoelophysis is pronounced as 'Yew-see-lo-fy-siss'.
The Eucoelophysis is a new theropod dinosaur of the Upper Triassic.
Eucoelophysis evolved during the Norian age of the Upper Triassic in New Mexico.
It is not known when exactly Eucoelophysis went Extinct. It roamed the Earth in New Mexico during the Upper Triassic period.
They lived in the region which is currently called New Mexico. The fossils of the new theropod dinosaur were discovered from the Chinle Formation of New Mexico.
The Eucoelophysis lived in terrestrial habitats. It is not known how territorial they were.
There is no accurate information about who they lived with.
Its lifespan is unknown.
They were oviparous in nature.
For a long time, the Eucoelophysis of the Late Triassic period was considered to be similar to coelophysoids but their hindlimb differed from the latter. The oblique ligament groove was absent on the caudal surface of the femoral head and the fibular crest was also absent.
We've been unable to source an image of Eucoelophysis and have used an image of Silesaurus instead. If you are able to provide us with a royalty-free image of Eucoelophysis, we would be happy to credit you. Please contact us at [email protected].
It is unknown how many bones it possessed.
Eucoelophysis perhaps communicated similar to other dinosaurs.
The size of the dinosaur of the Upper Triassic period has not been measured.
The speed is not evaluated yet.
The weight of the Eucoelophysis of the Late Triassic period has not been determined due to the lack of enough fossil materials.
The male and female species are both called Eucoelophysis.
A baby Eucoelophysis was called a hatchling.
The Eucoelophysis was carnivorous in nature that used to eat fish and other animals. This made them naturally quite greedy, predatory, and deadly.
The Eucoelophysis holds the record for the youngest non-dinosaurian dinosauriform. This suggests their evolution during the Norian age of the Late Triassic period.
'Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology' has a lot more information about this dinosaur.
