Pampadromaeus was a basal sauropodomorph from about 225 million years ago, in the Carnian age of the Late Triassic. It was found in the Alemoa Member of the Santa Maria Formation in Brazil. It is known from a partial, well preserved skeleton, including most of the skull. It was a small, bipedal animal, with a mixture of basal and more advanced traits. It even had some characters of theropods. It had large, elongated, slightly recurved teeth that were coarsely serrated. The lower leg was much longer than the thighbone, implying it was a good runner.
