Arcovenator is one of the most complete abelisaurid dinosaurs ever found in Europe. Its fossils include a well-preserved braincase.2
This dinosaur lived on the Ibero-Armorican island, a large landmass that included parts of modern France, Spain, and Portugal.1
Arcovenator's name comes from the Arc River in France, near where it was discovered, and the Latin word for hunter.1
Its skull had a rough, bumpy surface and a special hole between the front bones on top of the head.2
Arcovenator was a medium-sized abelisaurid, about 5 to 6 metres long. That is roughly the length of a small car.1
Fossils of Arcovenator were found during construction of the A8 motorway in southern France. The company Escota paid for the dig.1
