Allosaurus (Jurassic)

Allosaurus

Allosaurus is a very well-known late Jurassic period theropod predator. It inhabited the territory of today’s US and Portugal 153-135 million years ago. They were widespread in the territories of the United States and Portugal. This species is one of the best-described carnivorous dinosaurs. The whole Allosaurus graveyard (about 60 specimen skeletons) was recovered in Utah, USA in 1841. Allosaurus was one of the most ferocious predators of that time consuming purely flesh. Its huge 11-metre body, equal to three heavy vehicles was complimented by 1.5 tonnes weight and crowned with 1.5 metres head. Seventy sharp curved 15 cm teeth packed into the jaws and 5 metres height made it an ideal killing machine. The hinge joint bonding the jaws allowed wider mouth opening whilst attacking. It's extremely powerful jaw pressure easily crushed its prey’s bones and tore apart flesh. The reptile even was gifted with multi dentition.
