Additionally, the maxillary dominated dentigerous upper jaw of Ceratosaurus is felt to share with the alligator a large rostrally directed maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve and a small ophthalmic branch.

and lots not forget that ceratosaurus nasicornis' reletive, the dilophosaurus wetherilli, is another theropod that might make a stay for c.
well ceratosaurus nasicornis 5.69m long and 1.51m at the hip.....it is rather small compared to our friend tyrnannosaurus rex, for example, which was 10.6m long and was 3.4 m at the hip.
i don'tr think ingen ever bred ceratosaurus nasicornis, it's in none of any books or video games or toys or whatnot....and sides, i don't think one could fit on sorna...there are already carnotaurus sastrei and allosaurus fragilis and baryonyx walkeri and some others filling they medium theropod niche in the un-tyrnannosaurus rex territory

SOrry to dissapoint you guys but the Ceratosaurus is pictured in the Jurassic Park 3 Dinosaur Size Compariosn Poster.
It simply is true that Carnotaurus is in the script, storybook, and loads of other places, and is opposed only by the size chart and idiot-written magazine that calls pahycephalosaurus parasaurolophus.
So it is Definitely a Ceratosaurus that does the comedy moment NOT a Carnotaurtus as was originally rumoured.
