NOTES: |
A small meat-eater of uncertain identity; originally know as Aristosuchus. Found on the Isle of Wight, this dinosaur is distinguished by small toes but relatively large claws on its hands. Its most unusual feature is its pubic bone, the "foot" of which is considerably larger than that of most other carnivores, suggesting that Calamospondylus had a large belly. |
