		Allosaurus was a multi-ton bipedal predator with a large skull, equipped with dozens of large, sharp teeth.
		Allosaurus itself is based on YPM 1930, a small collection of fragmentary bones including parts of three vertebrae, a rib fragment, a tooth, a toe bone, and, most useful for later discussions, the shaft of the right humerus (upper arm).
		Allosaurus was the most common large theropod in the vast tract of Western American fossil-bearing rock known as the Morrison Formation, and as such was at the top trophic level of the Morrison food web.

	Allosaurus Info
		Allosaurus was a powerful predator that walked on two powerful legs, had a strong, S-shaped neck, and had vertebrae that were different from those of other dinosaurs (hence its name, the "different lizard").
		Allosaurus fragilis, A. atrox, and A. ferox weighed about 1.1 to 1.9 tons (1 tonne to 1.7 tonnes); A. amplexus was much heavier and weighed about 2.7 to 5.5 tons (3 tonnes to 5 tonnes).
		Allosaurus was a very common, and was the biggest meat-eater in North America during the late Jurassic period.

	Allosaurus
		Allosaurus was a typical large theropod, having a massive skull on a short neck, a long tail and reduced forelimbs.
		Allosaurus was extremely light compared to other dinosaurs its size, which may have allowed it to leap onto its prey (something that one would expect only small dinosaurs could do) without sustaining severe injury.
		Allosaurus is the most common theropod in the vast tract of dinosaur-bearing rock in the American Southwest known as the Morrison Formation.

	RE: WWD Allosaurus
		A second Allosaurus specimen was excavated after Big Al in a nearby location by the same person who actually discovered Big Al: Kirby Siber.
		They showed the Allosaurus skeleton and the pathologies etc. on the 'skeleton.' It is a minor point, but I believe the original skeleton is in Montana while only a cast of Big Al is in Wyoming on display.
		The BBC did not visit the site, even though it might have been worthy as Allosaurus bones were in full display as well as large sauropod bones only a few meters away.

		Allosaurus weighed 2 tons and grew to 10.5 m (35 feet) in length (although fossil records indicate some could have reached 12 m [39 feet]), half of which consisted of a well-developed tail that probably functioned as a counterbalance for the body.

	Allosaurus fragilis furcula
		However, recent discoveries of a furcula in more primitive theropods such as Allosaurus and Syntarsus shows that the furcula is a feature of all theropod dinosaurs.
		Allosaurus certainly didn’t fly, so the function of the furcula in Allosaurus remains a scientific mystery.
		It may be a mystery, but here’s a chance to own one of these rarely preserved bones from the famous Allosaurus.
