Description: Podokesaurus ("swift-footed lizard") was a small carnivorous dinosaur of the Early Jurassic Period (originally thought to be Late Triassic).
The only fossils of Podokesaurus holyokensis (the full name given by Talbot) were recovered in 1911 by Mount Holyoke College professor of geology and geography, Mignon Talbot from a boulder near to the college. It was formally described that year based on a poorly preserved, incomplete fossil skeleton.
This fossil evidence suggests that it may not be a distinct genus but in fact a species of Coelophysis, standing 1 m (3 ft) long and 0.3 m (1 ft) high, and weighing 4 kg (10 lb). The matter is complicated because all the original fossil evidence for Podokesaurus holyokensis was destroyed in a fire and only casts remain in The Division of Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History, New York.
