During the Age of Dinosaurs, there were many omnivorous dinosaurs, whose diet included both plants and small animals. Here are some well-known omnivorous dinosaurs:


1. Allosaurus - Lived in the Jurassic period, was a large predatory or omnivorous dinosaur.

2. Carnotaurus - Also a large predatory or omnivorous dinosaur, lived in the late Cretaceous period.

3. Stegosaurus - Lived in the late Jurassic to early Cretaceous period, ate plants, but may also eat small invertebrates.

4. Iguanodon (Oviraptor) - lived in the late Cretaceous period. Its name means "egg thief". It was once mistakenly believed to be a dinosaur that stole dinosaur eggs, but it was later discovered that it was actually an omnivorous dinosaur that mainly ate plants but also ate small invertebrates and dinosaur eggs.


In addition, there are many other omnivorous dinosaurs, whose diets are usually flexible and can be adjusted appropriately according to changes in the environment and seasons.
