Coelophysis bauri (pronounced "see-low-FYS-iss") was a relatively small carnivorous dinosaur. Coelophysis grew to about 9 feet in length and was approximately three feet high at the hips; it is speculated that this dinosaur was warm-blooded and weighed about 50 pounds (Coelophysis means "hollow form" and refers to the hollow limb bones).
