The forerunner of dinosaurs such as the three-horned Triceratops was the size of a turkey, scientists said Wednesday.

Laquintasaura venezuelae - named after Venezuela where it was discovered - lived 201 million years ago in the earliest Jurassic period, soon after a major extinction at the end of the Triassic.
