Allosaurus Facts

Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Allosaurus: Allosaurus was a genus of dinosaur. "Allosaurus" means "different lizard" or "strange lizard". This name was chosen by Othniel C. Marsh in 1877. Allosaurus was a member of the Saurischia ("lizard-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Allosaurus was not closely related to lizards, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones. Allosaurus was a Theropod - a member of a group of related bipedal dinosaurs that included the ancestors of birds (although Allosaurus was not itself an ancestor of birds). Allosaurus lived between about 154 million years ago and 135 million years ago, during the late Jurassic and early Cretaceous periods. Allosaurus lived in North America, Africa and Australia. Allosaurus was a carnivore (meat-eater). Some scientists think that Allosaurus was probably a scavenger, but others think it was an active predator. There is even possibility that Allosaurus may have been a pack hunting animal, with individuals working together to bring down prey. Allosaurus was about 39 feet (11.9 meters) long. Allosaurus weighed about 1.7 tons. Allosaurus is the official state fossil of Utah.
