Palaeontologists have found what is likely to be the oldest known dinosaur, filling in a yawning evolutionary gap. A study in Biology Letters describes Nyasasaurus parringtoni, a new species from 10-15 million years before the previous earliest dinosaur specimens.
The Mesozoic era, commonly called the age of the dinosaurs lasted from 250 to 65 million years ago. Currently, scientists suggest modern humans (like you and me) have only been around for about 2.5 million years at most. That's about 60 million years between people and dinosaurs!
