Description

A large Allosaurid from the Late Jurassic, this animal is belived by some to be a large species of Allosaurus, rather than a seperate genus. Either way, it was one of, if not the largest carnivorous theropod of it's time, believed to have grown to a max size of 11-12 meters (36-40 ft) in length. Not much is known about this animal, but if it was anything like it's more common cousin, it may have possibly hunted in family groups. It's remains have been uncovered in the Morrison formation of the western U.S, and it is the state fossil of Oklahoma.
