Compsognathus (; Greek kompsos/κομψός; "elegant", "refined" or "dainty", and gnathos/γνάθος; "jaw") is a genus of small, bipedal, carnivorous theropod dinosaur. Members of its single species Compsognathus longipes could grow to around the size of a chicken. They lived about 150 million years ago, during the Tithonian age of the late Jurassic period, in what is now Europe. Paleontologists have found two well-preserved fossils, one in Germany in the 1850s and the second in France more than a century later. Today, C. longipes is the only recognized species, although the French specimen was o

AI overview

Compsognathus was a tiny, meat-eating dinosaur that walked on two legs and was about the size of a chicken, living in Europe roughly 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period. It matters to paleontologists because two exceptionally well-preserved fossils—one found in Germany in the 1850s and another discovered in France over a century later—have provided valuable evidence about small theropod dinosaurs from that era.
