Sauropodomorpha (/ ˌ s ɔːr ə ˌ p ɒ d ə ˈ m ɔːr f ə / SOR-ə-POD-ə-MOR-fə; from Greek, meaning "lizard-footed forms") is an extinct clade of long-necked, herbivorous, saurischian dinosaurs that includes the sauropods and their ancestral relatives.
Eoraptor ( / ˈiːoʊˌræptər /) is a genus of small, lightly built, basal sauropodomorph dinosaur. One of the earliest-known dinosaurs and one of the earliest sauropodomorphs, it lived approximately 231 to 228 million years ago, [1] during the Late Triassic in Western Gondwana, in the region that is now northwestern Argentina.

Sauropodomorpha is an extinct clade of long-necked, herbivorous, saurischian dinosaurs that includes the sauropods and their ancestral relatives. Sauropods generally grew to very large sizes, had long necks and tails, were quadrupedal, and became the largest animals to ever walk the Earth.
Sauropodomorpha is the suborder of dinosaurs with massive, quadrupedal herbivores with extremely long necks and tails. Sauropodomorpha are divided into prosauropods and sauropods . Among the sauropods were the largest land animals ever known: Seismosaurus , Diplodocus , Apatosaurus (popularly known as Brontosaurus ), and others.

Most generalized of the Sauropodomorpha were the so-called prosauropods. Found from the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic periods (229 million to 176 million years ago), their remains are probably the most ubiquitous of all Triassic dinosaurs.
Sauropoda ( / sɔːˈrɒpədə / ), whose members are known as sauropods ( / ˈsɔːrəpɒdz /; [1] [2] from sauro- + -pod, ' lizard -footed'), is a clade of saurischian ('lizard-hipped') dinosaurs. Sauropods had very long necks, long tails, small heads (relative to the rest of their body), and four thick, pillar-like legs.
