In Depth

       Nhandumirim is a genus of saurischian dinosaur that lived in South America during the late Triassic.‭ ‬Nhandumirim has been interpreted both‭ ‬as a theropod dinosaur by some‭ ‬and a sauropodomorph by others.‭ ‬Unfortunately the lack of fossil preservation of the holotype individual makes it hard to be certain which.
