Tawa hallae

Tawa hallae is the type and only named species of Tawa, a genus of possible basal theropod dinosaurs from the Late Triassic period, known from fossils found in the Hayden Quarry of Ghost Ranch, New Mexico. Its discovery alongside relatives of Coelophysis and Herrerasaurus supports the idea that the earliest dinosaurs arose in Gondwana during the early Late Triassic and radiated from there around the globe. The species name honors Ruth Hall, founder of the Ghost Ranch Museum of Paleontology.
