Dintlha tse di monate
Spectrovenator is known from a single skeleton that was found underneath the skeleton of another dinosaur called Tapuiasaurus. That's why it was named 'ghost hunter'.1
Its skull was very well preserved, and scientists used it to learn how abelisaurid dinosaurs evolved over time.1
Spectrovenator had a weaker bite than later abelisaurids, which means its bite force was not as strong as some of its relatives.1
It lived during the Aptian age, about 121 to 113 million years ago, in the Early Cretaceous period.3
The skeleton includes a nearly complete skull, parts of the spine, hip bones, and well-preserved leg bones.1
Spectrovenator shares some skull features with another early abelisaurid called Rugops, which lived in Africa.1

- Spectrovenator was discovered in Brazil and named by Zaher and colleagues in 2020. The skeleton was found under the skeleton of Tapuiasaurus, and the species name 'ragei' honors French paleontologist Jean-Claude Rage.13

- Scientists are still debating exactly how Spectrovenator is related to other abelisaurids, and whether its weaker bite means it had a different hunting style.1
