They did not coexist with Coelophysis, right?

Actually they robably did. Both date from the Late Carnian-Early Norian of North America. Placerias is known from Wyoming and Arizona, Coelophysis from New Mexico and Arizona. The one which should have not been there in WWD is Plateosaurus who is younger in age and from Europe.

Hmmmm...
Were there any prosauropods from that time stage in North America, though?
Or was WWD having yet another attack of sloppy scholasticity?
