A saltopus is believed to be one of the oldest known dinosaurs. It is speculated to be approximately 200 million years old. It was only 2 feet tall, thought to be very fast, and possibly a carnivore. The age of the saltopus fossel, like most fossils, is based upon the particular geological layer in which it was found. The layers are believed to have formed over extened periods of time, but also known to form very rapidly under some conditions such as flooding. The aging of the layers is based upon the age of the fossils found within the layer.

What is the least dangerous dinosaur?
That depends. Are you an insect, a herbivore, or a giant carnivore. Let´s assume you want to know which would have been the least dangerous dinosaur had you been able to come across it. In that case, let me tell you that some dinosaurs were pretty small. Around chicken size. An example is compsognathus. Check that one out. Now, check lesothosaurus, and then, saltopus. Did you like them? Maybe they would have been nice pets.
