  Family Allosauridae
  Genus Allosaurus
Allosaurus was a common carnivorous (meat-eating) dinosaur in North America during the late Jurassic and early Cretaceous period, approximately 154 to 135 million years ago. Allosaurus fossils have also been found in Africa and Australia.

Allosaurus was up to 39 feet (11.9 metres) long, tall, and weighed approximately 1.7 tons.

Some scientists believe Allosaurus was too heavy to chase down prey, and therefore was probably a scavenger. However, others believe that Allosaurus may have been quite agile, and could even have hunted in packs to bring down giant herbivores (plant-eaters) such as Apatosaurus or Diplodocus.

The first Allosaurus fossil was incorrectly described as a "petrified horse hoof". In fact, it was a caudal vertebra (tail bone) of this dinosaur, although it was not recognized as such at the time. Using much more material, including a partial skeleton, Othniel C. Marsh published the first description of Allosaurus in 1877.

Allosaurus has been designated the official state fossil of Utah, since 1988.
