Descubrimento
Veterupristisaurus was named by paleontologist Oliver W. M. Rauhut in 2011. The fossils were originally thought to belong to another dinosaur, Ceratosaurus, but later studies showed they were a new species.1
Aínda en debate
Scientists are not sure if Veterupristisaurus is a valid genus. Some studies suggest its only unique feature is also found in another dinosaur, Lusovenator, which makes its status uncertain.1
