Mees gevraagde vrae oor Sarcosaurus

?How big was Sarcosaurus?

?Where did Sarcosaurus live?

Sarcosaurus lived in what is now England, and possibly Ireland and Scotland. Fossils have been found in the Lower Lias of England, and a tibia from Northern Ireland may be related.3

?Is Sarcosaurus a dinosaur?

Yes, Sarcosaurus is a dinosaur. It is a basal neotheropod, a type of theropod dinosaur, and a close relative of the group Averostra, which includes Allosaurus and Velociraptor.32

Ontdekking
Sarcosaurus was named by paleontologist C. W. Andrews in 1921. The fossils were found in the Lower Lias rocks of Barrow-on-Soar, England.51
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are still debating exactly how Sarcosaurus is related to other early theropod dinosaurs, especially its position near the split between Ceratosauria and Tetanurae.2
