Coelophysis bauri  was among the very earliest dinosaurs, back toward the latter half of the Triassic Period, between 227 and about 210 Million years ago. Coelophysis was the best-known member of the early carnivorous 'theropods', the group which contained all known meat-eating dinosaurs throughout the 'Age of Dinosaurs', and the creatures we know today as birds.

At 2-3 m. length (7-10 ft) including its long tail, Coelophysis was fairly small compared to other dinosaurs, with a torso about the size of a greyhound dog. It was apparently a social animal, as many skeletons have been found in groups. One such fossil bonebed, at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, contained several hundred specimens, of all age ranges from juvenile to adult. So, in spite of being one of the earliest dinosaurs, Coelophysis is one of the best known.

I have included a number of preset poses with the set, and also provided a number of ERC master control dials which assist in posing fingers and toes (for example), as well as the neck, tail, and tongue...

The foreground critter here wears the high-res maps, but all the background figures are clad in the lo-res version - the image is from a single file, and Poser didn't show any signs of slowing down, even with all 8 figures in the same scene...

The critter is just so gosh-darned cute!!!!

The Coelophysis is now live in my store, the Digital Bestiary, at Rawart3D.com - regular price $19.95 (Cdn), on sale until December 21 for $15.97 (Cdn)   (given the approximately .87 Cdn dollar right now, you make out like bandits!!!!  )

The pair of them are possibly the most accurate, museum-quality dinosaurs ever released in the Poserverse.

(larger images will be posted in the Galleries over the next few days...)
 

Looking good
