Eoraptor (pron.: UK, Aus, NZ /ˈi.oɹɑptə/; US, Can /ˈi.oɹæptɚ/) was one of the world's earliest dinosaurs that lived ca. 231.4 million years ago, during the latter part of the Triassic Period in Western Gondwana, what is now the northwestern region of Argentina. It was a small sized, lightly-built, ground-dwelling, two-legged bipedal saurischian. It is known from several well-preserved skeletons. When first described in 1993, it was considered to be one of the earliest, if not the earliest known dinosaur. Eoraptor has heterodont dentition, suggesting that it was omnivorous, and that this feeding strategy had evolved early on in dinosaurs.
