Sarcosaurus lived during the Early Jurassic, about 202 to 195 million years ago.1

Only a partial pelvis, thigh bone, and backbone have been found of Sarcosaurus.1

Scientists once thought there were two species of Sarcosaurus, but a 2021 study showed they are actually one species called Sarcosaurus woodi.2

Sarcosaurus is a close relative of the group Averostra, which includes famous dinosaurs like Allosaurus and Velociraptor.2

The name Sarcosaurus means 'flesh lizard' in Greek.1
