		Believed to be 67-million year old, the Rajasaurus perhaps appeared towards the extreme end of the era of dinosaurs and would have moved through the entire Narmada valley, before the emergence of the Himalayas on the Indian subcontinent, he said.
		Rajasaurus appears to be related to the species found in Africa, Madagascar and South America.

		It was christened Rajasaurus for the crown of double-crested horns on its head, with narmadensis suffixed for its “inhabitancy proximity” to the river.
		For the whole of April, Rajasaurus will be the centre of attraction, as it was on Wednesday morning, with every visitor stopping to gaze and gape at the museum’s latest inhabitant.
		Rajasaurus will later move to a permanent display corner in the museum, which will have detailed information, with “recreation of its ambience and eco-system”, Jurassic Park style.

		Working with Indian experts, Wilson and Sereno reconstructed the skull of the new species, a stocky, 30-foot-long (9-meter-long) carnivore named Rajasaurus narmadensis, which means "regal dinosaur from the Narmada," the river region in western India where the bones were found.
		The carnivorous Rajasaurus, which lived in the Cretaceous Period at the end of the dinosaur age, preyed on long-necked titanosaur sauropods, herbivorous dinosaurs that also roamed the Narmada region.
		The scientists believe the Rajasaurus is related to a family of large carnivorous dinosaurs, most of which had horns, that roamed the southern hemisphere land masses of present Madagascar, Africa, and South America.

		The creature, whose fossilised bones were scattered along the Narmada River in the western state of Gujarat, has been named Rajasaurus narmadensis, or the regal reptile from Narmada.
		National Geographic says the carnivorous Rajasaurus, which lived in the Cretaceous Period at the end of the dinosaur age, preyed on long-necked titanosaur sauropods, herbivorous dinosaurs that also roamed the Narmada region.
		The age of the bones mean Rajasaurus was a contemporary of Tyrannosaurus rex and therefore one of the last species to live before the dinosaurs were wiped out.

		`Rajasaurus' was a heavy-built animal 30 feet long and about five feet tall, having a crest of horn on its head.
		It was carnivorous and would have pursued its prey that could have been the long-necked sauropod dinosaur that roamed about south Gujarat amidst palm trees, the dominant vegetation of the area at the time.
		`Rajasaurus' was related to the species on continental Africa, Madagascar and South Africa and it was in existence when the age of dinosaurs was coming to a close, said Dr. Sereno, who is also an explorer-in-residence of the National Geographic Channel, which funded the project.

		The scientists have named it Rajasaurus Narmadensis, meaning 'princely reptile from the Narmada'.
		Rajasaurus dates from the cretaceous period, the last age of the dinosaurs, when India was an island further down south.

		For example, it is entirely within the realm of possibility that Indosaurus, Indosuchus, and Compsosuchus are the same thing, and Lametasaurus and Rajasaurus the same thing.
		It appears that there are at least two large theropods, possibly three, in the Lameta, one represented by Abelisaurus-like Indosuchus, one represented by Carnotaurus-like Rajasaurus, and a possible non-abelisaurid abelisauroid (suggested by some skull elements with non-abelisaurid features).
		Based on material including a skull with a low horn, hip material, caudals, and hindlimb material, this new large abelisaurid puts interesting questions to those who delight in taxonomy, given the tangled state of theropod taxonomy of the Lameta Formation of India.

		The team has named the newly identified animal Rajasaurus narmadensis, which means “regal dinosaur from the Narmada.” (The bones were found near the Narmada River in western India.) The new species will be described in the Contributions of the Museum of Paleontology of the University of Michigan (August 2003).
		We could see one individual dinosaur.” That’s important, said Wilson, because although many dinosaur bones have been found in rocks dating to the Cretaceous Period (65 million years ago) in India, there are few examples of multiple bones belonging to the same animal.
		“Rajasaurus is a horned theropod that finds its closest relatives on Madagascar and South America and more distant relatives on Africa,” said Wilson.

		In fact, in reconstructing the skull of this animal, bits and pieces found in Jabalpur have been used after it became clear they were from Rajasaurus.

		The site where the Rajasaurus was found contained sediments closely related to one of the biggest volcanic activities on Earth in the last 500 million years, according to National Geographic.
		Carlos Sanchez, a second-year in the College and a previous student volunteer for Sereno, felt the discovery of Rajasaurus furthered Sereno’s quest to sketch out the dinosaur family tree by outlining the evolutionary changes found in the dinosaurs’ fossilized remains.
		In addition to the Rajasaurus, Sereno has been involved in the discovery and/or identification of at least twenty species of dinosaur since 1988.
