Sized up at only 3 feet long and one foot tall, a new dog-sized dinosaur of the early Jurassic period was recently indexed into the fossil record after Venezuelan paleontologists harvested skeletal fossils they found in the La Quinta rock formations of the Venezuelan Andes. With its fossils carbon dated at roughly 200-million-years-old, the new species named Laquintasaura venezuelae, because of the region it was discovered in, opens up an entirely new avenue of the evolutionary tree (also known as phylogeny) as it gives scientists a deeper understanding of the poorly documented late-Triassic/earl-Jurassic periods.
