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.
