OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Allosauridae was a family of medium to large sized carnivorous theropod dinosaurs. Members included Saurophaganax, Allosaurus, and the poorly known Antrodemus, which could well be a specimen of Allosaurus. The Allosauridae family was named by prolific American paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in 1878. The exact number of genera that can be included here is very debatable and most of the upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous carnosaurs are somewhat closely related to Allosaurus. Whatever the case, allosaurids seemed to be the most successful hunters of their times, outnumbering the Megalosauridae and Ceratosauridae, with which they competed for prey. The allosaurids would eventually be succeeded by their close relatives the carcharodontosaurs in the southern hemisphere, and replaced by the coelurosaurian tyrannosaurids in the northern hemisphere, during the Cretaceous Period Full Product DetailsAuthor: Olegario Maximo CarletonPublisher: VDM Publishing House Imprint: VDM Publishing House Dimensions: Width: 22.90cm , Height: 0.80cm , Length: 15.20cm Weight: 0.216kg ISBN: 9786130885274ISBN 10: 613088527 Pages: 140 Publication Date: 24 June 2010 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
