Paleontologists found the fossils next to a reservoir in the municipality of São João do Polêsine in May, The Associated Press reported on July 17. The team claims that the dinosaur, which has yet to be formally identified, is around 233 million years old and belonged to a family of Triassic predators called Herrerasauridae.
Scientists are still debating evidence from the earliest-known dinosaurs. The oldest undisputed dinosaur fossils are around 231 million years old and include bones from a few different groups, including Herrerasauridae. However, there are also older fossils from a disputed dinosaur called Nyasasaurus, which lived around 240 million years ago.
"It's a carnivorous, bipedal animal, so it walked on its hind legs and probably had its hands free to handle prey," Müller said. "We can't say it had reached its maximum size. Although he was 2.5m long, some individuals in this group could reach five or six meters [16.5 to 19.5 feet]."
Müller and his colleagues uncovered the fossils after rains sped up natural erosion in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. This region experienced a record amount of rainfall earlier this year, which created floods that killed at least 182 people, The Associated Press reported.
Please pray for the repose of these souls with me. "Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen."
They have not yet identified this dinosaur, but I included a picture of a herrerasauridae skeleton because it was in the article and it's cool.

Donald Trump uses stereotypes to demean Jewish Americans. He called Neo-Nazis at Charlottesville “very fine people.” And his former Chief of Staff said he even praised Adolf Hitler.

This hateful and antisemitic rhetoric is toxic. Donald Trump is the one who should be ashamed. https://t.co/tHMsFmRWDb

!nooticers to give a !macacos context, this granny known as "Fátima Tubarão" (Fátima Shark) was inside Congress during the January 8th 2023 Brazilian attempt to imitate January 6th.
On a video she's seen saying
"Let's go to war, I'm gonna catch Xandão (nickname for the Supreme Federal Tribunal Justice Alexandre de Moraes). We're breaking everything and taking a dump on this shit (referring to the Congress building)".
She was arrested on January 27th 2023.
Besides being a member of the STF (Brazilian equivalent of Scotus) Moraes heads the TSE (Superior Electoral Tribunal) and is therefore in charge to supervise the general elections, removing "fake news" from online content, wiretap phones from insurrectionists and convict them.
Granny Shark lawyers requested a release from jail 5 times (like release under bail before trial) arguing health issues, all of those were denied by Moraes.
Yesterday she was tried by the Supreme Federal Tribunal on a virtual meeting, Moraes voted to sentence her to 15 years imprisonment on 5 accounts.
1. violent overthrow of the democratic state
2. coup d'etat
3. belonging to an armed criminal org
4. deterioration of destroyed patrimony
5. qualified damage
@BrasilIguana correct me if I'm wrong, but is my understanding that someone convicted by the STF has no right to appeal due to it being the highest judicial instance in the country.
Ain't this country's judiciary awesome!
