Saurophaganax - Largest Jurassic Theropod Dinosaur?
Dr. BC of Fossil Crates talks about Saurophaganax!
What makes it separate from Allosaurus? (Parasagittal lamina, we include a pic!) and chevrons (also figured), plus a femur (yet again figured!).
Check out its size vs other giant theropods.
A comparison to Torvosaurus (the blog on goes into *much* greater detail on this) is included.
A great video on arguably the longest, and possibly heaviest, Morrison Formation theropod dinosaur!
