Fossil remains for this Dinosaur have been found in North America
Saurophaganax
may be a really
big Allosaurus.
This dinosaur
would have been
a huge
meat-eater,
possibly
reaching 50 feet
(15 m) long.
Very little of
its fossilized
bones have been
found so
scientists are
still deciding
what to call
this dinosaur.
Some think it is
a new type of
Allosaurus
and some think
it should have
its own name.
More of the
fossils need to
be found in
order to settle
the debate. |
