In 2025, Kellermann, Cuesta & Rauhut described Tameryraptor markgrafi as a new genus and species of carcharodontosaurid theropods based on these fossil remains. Since the fossil remains were destroyed, they established their description based on an archival photograph.
In the modern fauna, theropods are represented by over 11,000 species of birds, which are a group of maniraptoran theropods within the clade Avialae.. Theropoda (/ θ ɪəˈr ɒ p ə d ə /; [2] from ancient Greek θηρίο-ποδός [θηρίον, (therion) "wild beast"; πούς, ποδός (pous, podos) "foot"]), whose members are known as theropods, is an extant dinosaur clade that is ...
This list of non-avian theropod type specimens is a list of fossils that are the official standard-bearers for inclusion in the Mesozoic species and genera of the dinosaur clade Theropoda, which includes the carnivorous dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor, their herbivorous relatives like the therizinosaurs, and birds.
Allosaurus was the most common large theropod in the vast tract of Western American fossil-bearing rock known as the Morrison Formation, accounting for 70 to 75% of theropod specimens, [106] and as such was at the top trophic level of the Morrison food chain. [168]
The following tables list the global geological sites where tracks of theropod dinosaurs have been found, together with the proper names of the rock formations (stratigraphic units) that contain them.
Lapparent mentioned these fossils as C. saharicus in 1960, [10] though they may belong to other theropod genera. [ 8 ] Caudal vertebrae from the Tefidet and teeth from Akarazeras sites of the Continental intercalaire Formation of Agadez, Niger were recorded by Lapparent (1960) [ 10 ] and Taquet (1976) respectively. [ 33 ]
Ceratosaurus / ˌ s ɛr ə t oʊ ˈ s ɔːr ə s / (from Greek κέρας/κέρατος keras/keratos 'horn' and σαῦρος sauros 'lizard') was a carnivorous theropod dinosaur that lived in the Late Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian to Tithonian ages).
