Carnosaurs were large predatory dinosaurs that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The best known dinosaur in this group is Allosaurus. Recently, scientists have discovered some very large carnosaurians in the carcharodontosaurid group such as Giganotosaurus and Tyrannotitan which may have grown to larger sizes than the famous coelurosaur Tyrannosaurus. Their defining characterisitics include large eyes, a long narrow skull and modifications of the legs and pelvis such as the thigh (femur) being longer than the shin (tibia).

  • Carnosauria is a group of large predatory dinosaurs that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. While it originally contained a wide assortment of giant theropods that were not closely related, the group has since been defined to encompass only the allosaurs and their closest kin. Recently, scientists have discovered some very large carnosaurs in the carcharodontosaurid family such as Giganotosaurus and Tyrannotitan which are among the largest known predatory dinosaurs.
