With its iconic skull "hornlets," Allosaurus struck a unique and intimidating figure when compared to other carnivorous dinosaurs. This bipedal predator lived during the Late Jurassic, over 145,000,000 years ago, and used its powerful bite to take down prey in packs.

This specimen is a fragment of an Allosaurus vertebra recovered on private land from the Morrison Formation in Utah. Both small and medium fossil fragments are available in one of our handsome display cases.
