INFO

Ceratosaurus (Marsh,1884) > C. nasicornis (Marsh,1884) C.ingens (Janensch,1920) = Megalosaurus ingens (1) (Janensch,1920)  C. > C. willisobrienorum (Welles, Powell & Pickering, vide Pickering 1995) = C. dentisulcatus (Madsen & Welles 2000) = C. magnicornis (Madsen & Welles 2000

Based on a rather large elongate teeht (14,5 cm in length incl. root) representing a very large carnivore.

(HMN MB. R1050) (~7-8 m; ~1.1-1.7 tons) teeth (to 120 mm) Thought to be quite large by Paul and others, it is... for Ceratosaurus. Though one cannot be certain where in the tooth row the 120 mm long type (excluding root) belongs, the animal would only be 7-8 meters long if it happened to be one of the larger maxillary crowns. The holotype quadrate of
Ceratosaurus roechlingi is actually from a demonstrably larger individual,
about 9.3 meters long.
