Allosaurus fragilis Skeleton
Species: Allosaurus fragilis – an iconic Late Jurassic theropod, renowned for its lightweight yet powerful build, serrated teeth, and agility as one of the apex predators of its time. This meticulously reproduced skull captures the distinctive anatomy of one of North America’s most famous carnivorous dinosaurs.
10 meters in length.
Achilles - features a pathology on its distal Tibia and fibula, astragalus, and metatarsals,
Time Period: Late Jurassic (~150 million years ago)
Discovery Location: Based on fossil specimens from the Morrison Formation, western United States—a fossil-rich formation spanning Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, celebrated for preserving some of the most important Jurassic dinosaur discoveries.
Skull: This world-class museum-grade replica.
Scientific Notes: Allosaurus fragilis is among the best-known large theropods of the Jurassic Period and is believed to have preyed upon giant herbivorous dinosaurs such as Stegosaurus and Diplodocus. Unlike later tyrannosaurids, Allosaurus possessed a more lightly built skull designed for rapid slashing bites rather than bone-crushing force. Its flexible jaws, sharp teeth, and strong neck musculature made it a formidable hunter within Jurassic ecosystems. This reconstruction provides an up-close view of the anatomical adaptations that defined one of prehistory’s most successful carnivores.
Display: fully mounted, bespoke steel frame.
Finish: Fossilized bone appearance with a weathered patina.
