Anomoepus pienkovskii

†Anomoepus pienkovskii is a dinosaur ichnospecies from the Early Jurassic of Poland, representing one of the few European records of this ichnogenus. Attributed to a small ornithischian trackmaker, its tetradactyl footprints from Polish redbeds document early dinosaur diversification across Laurasia and support broad paleobiogeographic connections during the Early Jurassic.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Anomoepus pienkovskii was a plant-eating dinosaur. Herbivores typically fed on ferns, cycads, conifers, and other vegetation available during their era. Many herbivorous dinosaurs developed specialized teeth and digestive systems for processing tough plant material.

Time Period

Jurassic Early Mesozoic Era

Anomoepus pienkovskii lived during the Jurassic Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 201.4 to 174.7 million years ago.

After the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, dinosaurs rapidly diversified and became the dominant land vertebrates. Early sauropods and theropods began to evolve larger body sizes.
