New Triassic species Dinodontosaurus isiyavamanda found in Tanzania reshapes dinosaur origins timeline

Discovery links Tanzanian and South American fossil beds, undercutting oldest-dinosaur claims

Because Dinodontosaurus was previously known only from South America, its presence in Tanzania lets researchers correlate the two regions' rock sequences; combined with recent radiometric dating showing South American beds are up to 10 million years younger than South African ones, this suggests the Tanzanian deposits are not evidence for the earliest possible dinosaurs after all.

“Our discovery marks the first confirmed record of the genus Dinodontosaurus outside South America. The finding links the Tanzanian and South American fossil-bearing rocks, showing they are of equivalent age.”
