Habitat: terrestrial; lowlands

A moderately large, swift-footed early carnivorous dinosaur excavated from the Late Triassic marls of the clay pit Gruhalde in the village of Frick, Canton Aargau, Switzerland. The firt two-thirds of the latin genus name Notatesserae... [«nota», feature; «tesserae», tiles used to make a mosaic] refers to the fact that the specimen is showing a mixture of traits of dilophosaurids and coelophysoids (ZAHNER & BRINKMANN 2019).

Frick, also known as the «Dinosaur Eldorado» of Switzerland, is by far the most productive dinosaur locality of this central European country.
