Iranosauripus is an ichnogenus of dinosaur footprint found in the Shemshak Group of Iran that supposedly belonged to a theropod. Iranosauripus supposedly existed during Middle Triassic to Early Jurassic, although the first true dinosaurs, such as Eoraptor, did not exist until the Late Triassic; the age of the specimens has since been refined to 201.6 to 183.0 Ma and further to 182.7 Ma.
