The "corridor of dawn, or Eodromaeus , was a small theropod that lived during the Late Triassic as Argentina and is now about 230 million years ago was the Southwest Pangea. This small dinosaur about 2 meters was very similar to a Tyrannosaurus rex . In fact, current thinking is that this lizard is the oldest ancestor of the fearsome T. rex.
One of the results of a study recently published in the journal Science , bipedal dinosaur suggests that it took the made Eoraptor , another small dinosaur that until recently was regarded as the grandfather of theropods. Eoraptor means "dawn thief" and was found-as- Eodromaeus in Ischigualasto Provincial Park or Moon Valley in northwestern Argentina.
