MEGALOSAURUS

Picture of Megalosaurus

Megalosaurus was a large carnivorous dinosaur from the Jurrasic period. Remains were first found in 1818 in slate mines in Oxfordshire, England. Megalosaurus was about nine metres long and walked on its hind legs, each of which had a foot furnished with four toes each with a strong claw. The arms were furnished with hands with three fingers. Twenty distinct species of Megalosaurus have been discovered in rocks spanning 100 million years.
