Eoabelisaurus mefi was a 6-metre-long theropod dinosaur from the Chubut Provence of Argentina that lived during the Early Jurassic period, approximately 180 million years ago.
Eoabelisaurus is known from an almost complete skeleton consisting of much of the vertebral column, both hindlimbs and forelimbs, and parts of the skull. All that is missing is the front of the skull, the lower jaw, and the tip of the tail.
