	Coelophysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coelophysis had an elongated snout with large fenestrae which helped to reduce skull weight, while narrow struts of bones preserved the structural integrity of the skull.
		Coelophysis is a distinct taxonomic unit (genus), composed of a single species, C.
		In fact, it seems such flooding was commonplace during this period of the Earth's history, and indeed the Petrified Forest of nearby Arizona is caused by a preserved log jam of tree trunks caught in one such flood.

	Coelophysis- Enchanted Learning Software
		Coelophysis lived during the late Triassic period, roughly 210 million years ago; it was one of the earliest-known dinosaurs.
		Coelophysis probably lived and hunted in packs; this is suggested by the existence of fossil bonebeds of hundreds of Coelophysis (collections of many fossils at one location) found at the Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, USA.
		Coelophysis was a saurischian ("lizard-hipped") dinosaur, and a theropod.

	Coelophysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		As is shown by the vast numbers of individuals at Ghost Ranch, it is evident that early dinosaurs exhibited social behavior to the extent of congregating in large herds.
		Coelophysis is at the base of the family tree of a great many dinosaurs including all the dilophosaurs, oviraptors, ornithomimids and the ever-popular "raptor" family, which includes Velociraptor, Utahraptor and Deinonychus.
		A Coelophysis skull became the first dinosaur fossil to be taken into space in January, 1998 when the Space Shuttle "Endeavor" carried a specimen from the Carnegie Museum to the Mir Space Station.

	Coelophysis
		Coelophysis was a small, bipedal carnivorous (meat-eating) dinosaur that lived during the late Triassic Period (230 to 195 million years ago).
		Coelophysis was a theropod ("beast foot") dinosaur, a member of the Saurischian or "lizard hipped" dinosaurs.
		Coelophysis is scientifically well-known because of the great number of specimens that have been found at the Ghost Ranch site in New Mexico.

	Coelophysis - EvoWiki
		Coelophysis (Type species: Coelophysis bauri, Cope, 1889) was a saurischian theropod from the Triassic period.
		Coelophysis was a somewhat small theropod, its adult size being between two and a half to three meters.
		Worthy of note is that Coelophysis skeletons have been found with the bones of smaller Coelophysis specimens located about the rib cage; this is believed to be evidence of cannibalism among the dinosaurs.

		Notes: Coelophysis was an early theropod that is thought to have lived in family groups and hunted in packs.
		Much of what is deduced of Coelophysis behavior is based on the hundreds of well-preserved skeletons found at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico.
		Coelophysis has recently been renamed "Rioarribasaurus," but some researchers believe that these are two different animals.

		Coelophysis (SEE-loh-FIE-sis) was a small, fast, meat-eating predator that lived in western North America during the Late Triassic (roughly 228 to 208 million years ago).
		Coelophysis had hollow bones, was bipedal, and weighed 50 pounds (around 20 kilograms).
		This led him to conclude that Coelophysis was a cannibal.

		Coelophysis lived during the Late Triassic Period, about 210 million years ago, at a time when northern New Mexico was an arid, lowland environment.
		One of these flash floods may have drowned an entire herd of Coelophysis, causing the great concentration of bones that is found at Ghost Ranch.

	Coelophysoidea
		Triassic stratigraphy by S. Lucas Coelophysis bauri to be late Norian or Rhaetic (latest Triassic) in age, rather than late Carnian as origionally believed.
		Comments: A descendent of the Triassic Coelophysis, this active little hunter shows a number of more advanced features, such as a much larger "window" (the antorbital fenestra) in the front side of the snout, possibly for housing a gland of some kind, and teeth that are entirely forward of the eye.
		The behaviour appears to be the same as Coelophysis, for the remains of large numbers of this species, in various ages, are found concentrated together in a single small quarry area [Paul, p.262].

		Coelophysoidea: The general form of a coelophysoid is a long, low body combined with a long neck and skull, with short, effectively three-fingered hands (coelophysoids sometimes had a splint of a fourth finger with a single phalanx on it).
		They show a tendency for head ornamentation in the form of crests and also are often found in groups ranging from a couple to hundreds of individuals.
		The third in the grab bag of original Coelophysis species, this one was apparently based on an ilium.

		While Coelophysis stood only about seven feet tall, its powerful rear legs and long slender body made it a fast and deadly predator.
		Unlike other dinosaurs, the leg bones of Coelophysis were nearly hollow, which helped reduce its total body weight and increase its speed.
		In 1947, dozens of Coelophysis skeletons were found in a mass grave in New Mexico, which has led many scientists to believe that these dinosaurs hunted in large packs.
