Eustreptospondylus
TIME: Middle Jurassic to Late Cretaceous
LOCALITY: Europe (England)
SIZE: 23 ft/7 m long
A nearly complete skeleton of this early
carnosaur was unearthed in southern England,
and described in 1964.
It is now mounted in the University
Museum of Oxford, and although parts of its
skull are missing, it remains the
best-preserved specimen of any European
carnosaur discovered to date.In build,
Eustreptospondylus was so similar to
Megalosaurus that, until 1964, it was still
thought to be merely another specimen of that
dinosaur.
