Prettige feite
Eodromaeus had very fine serrations on its teeth, about nine per millimeter, which helped it cut through meat.2
It was one of the oldest known theropods, living around 230 million years ago during the Late Triassic.1
Eodromaeus had a long, slender body and long legs, making it a fast runner.1
Its name means 'dawn runner' because it lived at the beginning of the dinosaur era and was built for speed.1
The first Eodromaeus fossil was discovered by a volunteer named Jim Murphy in the Ischigualasto Formation of Argentina.2
Eodromaeus had a small skull with large eye openings, suggesting it had good eyesight for hunting.2
It had four fingers on each hand, with sharp claws for grabbing prey.2
