Today's new drawing or coloring page is of a newly

discovered Theropod predatory dinosaur from Wales.

New Theropod Dinosaur from Triassic

A newly discovered dinosaur related to Coelophysis was found in Wales. It lived about 200 million years ago in the Late Triassic Period. It was about a meter tall and 2-3 meters long. It was lightly built and was one of the earliest widely successful theropod dinosaurs. 

It actually does not have a name assigned to it. But the Late Triassic Period Pterosaur is called Caelestiventus. The flying pterosaur was found in North America in the Saints and Sinners Quarry. I have seen a Coelophysis skull in the rock at that quarry. So, although Caelestiventus lived far from what is now Wales, the Earth was still pretty much one continent in the Late Triassic. And these two ancient animals may well have lived together.
