Magnosaurus was a meat-eating dinosaur that lived in England about 170 million years ago. It walked on two legs and was a fierce hunter, but we only have a few of its bones, so it is still a bit of a mystery.1

Datos curiosos

1

Magnosaurus is known from only a few bones, including parts of the jaw, backbone, hip, and legs, so scientists are still piecing together what it looked like.1

2

For a long time, scientists thought Magnosaurus was just a species of Megalosaurus, another meat-eating dinosaur. It was only in the 1990s that they started treating it as its own genus.1

3

Some scientists think Magnosaurus might be the same as Eustreptospondylus, another dinosaur from England, because their jaws look similar.12

4

The first Magnosaurus fossils were found in the 1800s by a man named W. Parker, near a place called Nethercomb in Dorset, England.1

5

Magnosaurus lived during the Middle Jurassic period, about 170 to 168 million years ago, when England was a very different place.14

6

Some scientists think Magnosaurus was one of the oldest known members of a group of meat-eating dinosaurs called Tetanurae, which includes famous dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor.1
