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.
