Panphagia
''Panphagia'' is a genus of sauropodomorph dinosaur described in 2009. It lived around 231 million years ago, during the Carnian age of the Late Triassic period in what is now northwestern Argentina. The name ''Panphagia'' comes from the Greek words ''pan'', meaning "all", and ''phagein'', meaning "to eat", in reference to its inferred omnivorous diet. ''Panphagia'' is one of the earliest known dinosaurs, and is an important find which may mark the transition of diet in early sauropodomorph dinosaurs.
==Discovery==
Fossils of ''Panphagia'' were found in late 2006 by the Argentinean paleontologist Ricardo N. Martínez in rocks of the Ischigualasto Formation of Valle Pintado, Ischigualasto Provincial Park, San Juan Province, Argentina. The bones were found at approximately the same level as a 231.4 million year old ash layer, indicating it lived during the early Carnian of the Late Triassic.〔 ''Panphagia'' is currently known from holotype PVSJ 874, the disarticulated remains of one partially grown individual of about long. Portions of the skull, vertebrae, pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, and hindlimb bones have been recovered. The russet-colored fossils were embedded in a greenish sandstone matrix and took several years to prepare and describe.〔
