About Coelophysis

Coelophysis is frequently used as an example of the early dinosaurs.‭ ‬Its bipedal stance from two legs that supported its body from underneath as opposed to sticking out to the sides,‭ ‬smaller arms and head mounted on an‭ '‬S curved‭' ‬neck give it the distinctive theropod look.‭ ‬Coelophysis also had sharp recurved teeth that were serrated on the front and back edges,‭ ‬making them perfect for slicing.‭ Inside,‭ ‬the limb bones were hollow making Coelophysis very light.‭ ‬This combined with the long legs mean that Coelophysis would have been able to easily cover a greater distance in the search for prey,‭ ‬suggesting that Coelophysis most probably lived the life of an opportunistic carnivore in that not only did it hunt for small animals,‭ ‬it may have actively sought out carrion as well.‭ It was long assumed that Coelophysis was cannibalistic.‭ ‬This view was based upon the remains of smaller creatures found in what would have been the gut of Coelophysis.‭ ‬Although upon first glance they appeared to be Coelophysis juveniles,‭ ‬later study in‭ ‬2002‭ ‬by Rob Gay proved that they were the bones of reptiles that belonged to the crurotarsan group.‭ ‬These reptiles were common during this time of the Triassic,‭ ‬and the evidence now points to the crurotarsan reptiles forming a key part of the diet of Coelophysis,‭ ‬at least in this fossil location. Coelophysis remains can be sub divided into robust and gracile forms,‭ ‬and it is now thought that these represent males and females of the species.‭ ‬This sexual dimorphism is also clearly seen in group concentrations of Coelophysis remains,‭ ‬and shows that they would at times cluster together.‭ ‬It is still unknown if this is evidence of an established pack,‭ ‬or just a number of individuals taking advantage of an abundant food source like can be seen with bears fishing for salmon in rivers today.
