	Introduction to Eoraptor
		This was Eoraptor lunensis, a medium-sized carnivore found in the Ischigualasto Formation of northwestern Argentina.
		Eoraptor lacks the specialized features of any of the major groups of dinosaurs, and is quite similar to what would be expected for dinosaur ancestors.
		This has led some to conclude that it is not part of the dinosaurs proper, but is a closely related archosaur.

	Eoraptor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eoraptor was one of the world's earliest dinosaurs.
		Eoraptor belonged to a major group of dinosaurs called saurischians, or lizard-hipped dinosaurs.
		Eoraptor is more ancient than even the Herrerasaurus, and only some prosauropods recently discovered in Madagascar are older.

	Eoraptor- Enchanted Learning Software
		Eoraptor (pronounced EE-oh-RAP-tor) is one of the earliest known dinosaurs.
		Eoraptor was a small, lightly-built dinosaur that walked on two long legs.
		Eoraptor was a saurischian ("lizard-hipped") dinosaur, a very primitive theropod, and a member of the infraorder Herrerasauria (which includes Herrerasaurus, Staurikosaurus, Saltopus, and other very early dinosaurs).

	Digimorph - Eoraptor lunensis (primitive dinosaur)
		Eoraptor lunensis is from the late Triassic of Argentina.
		One of the earliest known dinosaurs and a contemporary of Herrerasaurus, its already bipedal stance and short, specialized forelimbs suggest an affinity with theropod dinosaurs.
		Eoraptor lends support to the hypothesis that dinosaurs diverged rapidly and at small body sizes from a common ancestor, and that the main herbivorous and carnivorous lineages were already present by the Middle Carnian.

	Eoraptor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Eoraptor lunensis is roughly the same age as Herrerasaurus - 232 million years old - yet it already shows specialized features which indicate that it lies several branches up from the base of the dinosaurian family tree.
		Although giant theropods like Tyrannosaurus went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous time period, the avian branch of the theropod family tree flew unscathed through whatever it was that caused the extinction of its larger cousins 66 million years ago.
		By CT scanning Eoraptor, we hope to learn more about the exact relationship among these earliest members of the avian family tree.

		Herrerasaurus is the older of the two, but Eoraptor is younger by only a split geological second.

		Period: The Eoraptor lived in the Triassic period about 228 million years ago.
		Description: Eoraptor was a small, slightly built dinosaur that walked on two legs.
		The Eoraptor was 3 feet long, and it had light, hollow bones, a long head with dozens of small sharp teeth, and five fingers on its hands (two of the fingers were smaller than the other three).

		Eoraptor lived 228 million years ago, late in the Triassic Period.
		Scientists are not quite sure if Eoraptor was a very early dinosaur, or simply so closely related to the first dinosaurs that they are hard to tell apart.
		At any rate, Eoraptor gives a very good idea of how the first dinosaurs looked.

		A possible basal dinosaur, described as more derived than Eoraptor and Herrerasaurus (but interestingly, in the description all are considered basal to true dinosaurs), it is based on an ilium (with partially-perforated acetabulum and two sacrals), with maxilla, astragalus, humerus, and teeth referred to it.
		Another odd character is the backshifting of the pubis, similar to, but not to the same extent, as that seen in ornithischians, dromaeosaurids, therizinosaurians, and birds.
		Unlike Eoraptor, it has three sacrals (or at least the mount I've seen of seems to, so this could be in error; so, if you insist that it has two, I'm not going to argue).

		An x-ray photograph of Eoraptor's skull shows how its lightweight skull was made up of thin struts of bone.
		Eoraptor was about the size of a fox and, like all the dinosaurs to follow, walked on legs that were held straight under its body.
		One of the first dinosaurs, it was a primitive theropod, part of the group that includes all the meat eaters.

	Eoraptor
		Eoraptor betyr "gryende tyv", kanskje på grunn av at det var en av de aller tidligste dinosaurene som er oppdaget.
		Eoraptor var en liten og lettbygd kjøtteter som gikk på to lange bein.
		Eoraptor ble første gang funnet i 1991 i en gammelt elvedal i Patagonia, Argentina.

		Eoraptor probably ate small mammals, or lizards and fish.
		But remember that Eoraptor did live in the age of Pangea, and could travel to anywhere it wanted to go.
		Brad's right I think, the animals known to live with Eoraptor were dicynodonts, Sarcosuchus, Herrerasaurus, and some other crocodylians.

		The oldest dinosaur types are known from rocks in Argentina and Brazil and are about 230 million years old.
		The most primitive of these types, Eoraptor, was a small meat-eating dinosaur.
		Because Eoraptor's skeleton shows some advanced skeletal features, older dinosaurs may yet be found.

	What is a dinosaur?
		For example, consider the case of Eoraptor, often considered the earliest dinosaur.
		We are not certain where Eoraptor branched off from the line that led to advanced theropods: at point A, B or C.
		So it's possible for Eoraptor to be non-dinosaurian or a basal saurischian, but not a basal dinosaur - neither saurischian nor ornithischian.

	New dinosaurs appear to be oldest yet, as reported in the 22 October issue of Science
		To begin with, the research team found two new dinosaurs that appear to be older than Herrerasaurus and Eoraptor, the current record-holders for dinosaur seniority.
		The new dinosaurs were prosauropods, herbivores with small heads and long necks that could walk on two or four legs.
		Because the rock layers at the Madagascar sites have not yet yielded the right minerals for radioisotope dating, Flynn and his colleagues had to use other clues from the fossil record to determine the age of their finds.

		And with its big eyes, Eoraptor was maybe able to see during the night.
		And if we guess it was the beginning of homeothermy, he was maybe active during the night and occupied an ecological niche where it was maybe the only one in Late Triassic.

	Theropoda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the late Triassic, a number of primitive proto-theropod and theropod dinosaurs existed and evolved alongside each other.
		The earliest and most primitive of the carnivorous dinosaurs are Eoraptor of Argentina, and the Herrerasaurs known so far from the early late Triassic (Late Carnian to Early Norian) of North and South America (and possibly also India and Southern Africa), and characterised by a mosaic of primitive and advanced features.
		Experts disagree over whether these animals are basal theropods, basal saurischians, or prior-to the saurischian-ornithischian split.
