Iranosauripus is an ichnogenus of dinosaur footprint discovered in Iran that supposedly belonged to a theropod.[1] Iranosauripus supposedly existed during Middle Triassic-Early Jurassic,[2][3] although the first true dinosaurs, such as Eoraptor, did not exist until the Late Triassic.[4] The type ichnospecies, I. zerabensis was named in 1975.[5]
