Allosaurus Positioned Near a Limestone Cave Entrance

A fearsome Allosaurus stands in full view at the base of a massive limestone cliff. The predatory dinosaur displays distinctive horn-like ridges above its eyes while positioned near the dark entrance of an ancient cliffside cave.

Geological Features of Limestone Caves

Limestone cliffs and caves created natural shelters for prehistoric wildlife during the Jurassic period. Groundwater gradually dissolves soluble limestone rock over thousands of years, forming caverns and rocky alcoves along valley walls.
