Eoraptor is one of the earliest known dinosaurs, dating to approximately 231 million years ago. Only about 1 meter long, it shows many primitive features. Its teeth suggest an omnivorous diet.
Physical Description
| Measurement | Value | Human Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 体长 | 1.0 m | smaller than a human child |
| Height | 0.3 m | — |
| 体重 | 10 kg | lighter than a human adult |
Diet & Feeding
Eoraptor had a varied diet that included both plants and animals. Omnivorous dinosaurs were versatile feeders, able to exploit multiple food sources, which gave them an advantage in changing environments.
Time Period
Eoraptor lived during the Triassic Late period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 237.0 to 201.4 million years ago.
The first true dinosaurs appeared during the late Triassic, including early theropods like Eoraptor and Herrerasaurus. Dinosaurs were still small and not yet dominant. The period ended with the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event.
