New Tanzanian Dicynodont Rewrites the Timeline for Early Dinosaurs
Paleontologists describe a new Tanzanian dicynodont, Dinodontosaurus isiyavamanda, extending the genus outside South America and linking Lifua Member rocks to a younger late Ladinian–Carnian age (≈242–227 Ma), which reshapes timelines for early dinosaurs and related fossils like Nyasasaurus.
