Description

Panphagia was one of the earliest dinosaurs and lived during the Late Triassic (Carnian) period in northwestern Argentina. It is known from the remains of one partially grown individual of about 1.30 metres (4.3 ft) long and has been classified as the most basal sauropodomorph dinosaur.

The teeth of Panphagia indicate a possible omnivorous diet, transitional in form between the mostly carnivorous theropods and the herbivorous sauropodomorphs.

The Ischigualasto Formation in northwestern Argentina was a volcanically active floodplain covered by forests, with a warm and humid climate. It was subject to seasonal variations including strong rainfalls. Vegetation consisted of ferns, horsetails, and giant conifers, which formed highland forests along the banks of rivers.

This restoration is based on the likelihood that proto-feathers were present in basal dinosaurs.
