發現: In 1998, geologist Friedrich Albat found the first bones of Wiehenvenator in an abandoned quarry in Germany. Scientists named it Wiehenvenator albati in 2016, honoring Albat and the Wiehengebirge hills.1
仍有爭議: Because only a few bones have been found, scientists are not sure exactly how big Wiehenvenator was or what it looked like in full.1
