An Allosaurus Turned to the Side

The illustration portrays an Allosaurus standing quietly while angled slightly toward the viewer. Small crest-like horns sit right above its eyes on a long, powerful skull. Its muscular neck, sturdy three-clawed hands, and heavy tail give the predator a balanced stance.

Life of the Dominant Jurassic Predator

Allosaurus was the top predator of North America millions of years before Tyrannosaurus appeared on Earth. Its jaw joints allowed the skull to expand sideways, enabling it to swallow large chunks of meat efficiently. Paleontologists have uncovered hundreds of Allosaurus bones in Utah, making it one of the best-understood meat-eating dinosaurs.

  • Head crests above eyes: Accent colors such as dull red, burnt orange, or yellow
