Allosaurus at the Limestone Cavern Gate
The Allosaurus was the dominant large predator of the Late Jurassic period in North America. Positioned near a cavern in limestone rock formations, the carnivore stands before a cavern ceiling filled with mineral stalactites. Natural cave openings cut into soft limestone cliffs provided natural shelter and strategic hunting lookout positions across prehistoric valleys.
Insights Into Allosaurus Biology
Allosaurus had a distinctive pair of small horns or crests located right above its eyes, which may have protected its eyes or served as visual identification. Its jaws could open unusually wide, allowing it to slash at prey using its upper teeth in an axe-like chopping motion. Paleontologists have discovered numerous Allosaurus fossils in North America, making it one of the best-understood Jurassic dinosaurs.
