The fossils existed in what was then Switzerland during the Later Triassic period of Europe. The new dinosaur was given the name Notatesseraeraptor frickensis, after the city of Frick, Switzerland, where even the skeleton was discovered. However, it was not until 2019 that the findings of a phylogenetic analysis were released with the support of nature ecology, confirming the dinosaur's status as a distinct species. It was a Neotheropoda was a basal member with ties to other Triassic theropods including Dilophosaurus and Averostra. This was also the first non-avian dinosaur to be discovered in the Swiss Alps.
Among the fossils discovered, there was a skull as well as a partial postcranial skeleton of an immature individual. Theropods, such as the South American Zupaysaurus, the European Liliensternus, and the North American Coelophysis, are reasonably common in post-Carnian Triassic faunas. Those taxa reflect Neotheropoda's first significant radiation. The Coelophysoidea and Dilophosauridae are two basal lineages of this group. Recent research says that some members of the 'conventional Coelophsoidea' are more closely linked to tetanurans than previously thought and that the Dilophosauridae could constitute a second group of primitive non-averostran neotheropods. The Late Triassic theropod from Switzerland, Notatesseraeraptor frickensis, sheds fresh light on the early theropods' connections. Keep reading to learn more about the species.
The pronunciation is 'No-ta-tes-se-ray-rap-tor'.
They were terrestrial dinosaurs.
They belonged to the late Triassic period.
The fossil record shows all neotheropods became extinct by the end of the Early Jurassic period.
The neotheropod dinosaur existed in Europe during the late Triassic period.
It was a carnivorous dinosaur that lived on the ground. They lived on terrain where they could easily obtain food.
Because only a postcranial skeleton of this Plateosaurus dinosaur or first theropod has been discovered, it is uncertain if they traveled in herds or individually.
No proper information can be found regarding their life expectancy.
The information is still said to be unclear.
They had articulated forelimbs with shoulder girdle, these theropods dinosaurs had a small skull.
The information is still unknown.
There is not enough evidence to confirm anything.
They were 6.6 ft (2 m) long and obtained a height of 8.5 ft (2.5 m). They were much shorter than Shuangmiaosauru.
The information is unknown.
The weight of this dinosaur is unknown.
No specific names were assigned to the male and female dinosaurs.
The information is still unknown.
The evolution does not show any sign of aggression, but no evidence can confirm this.
The newly discovered genus and species Marion Zahner and colleagues named Notatesseraeraptor frickensis in 2019.
In reference to the unusual combination of features discovered in the fossil, the genus name stems from the Latin 'nota' indicating feature and 'tesserae', a term that describes glass or other substance used in the production of a mosaic.
