Eoabelisaurus (/ˈioʊəˌbɛlɪˈsɔːrəs/) is a genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur from the Lower Jurassic Cañadón Asfalto Formation of the Cañadón Asfalto Basin in Argentina, South America. The generic name combines a Greek ἠώς, (eos), "dawn", with the name Abelisaurus, in reference to the fact it represents an early relative of the latter. Only one species is currently recognized, E. mefi; the specific name honours the MEF, the Museo Paleontológico "Egidio Feruglio", where discoverer Diego Pol is active.[2] It is characterized by reduced forelimb proportions that show primitive characteristics of the Abelisauridae family.
