Megalosauropus titanopelobatidus

† Omeisaurus maoianus was a species of Omeisaurus from the Late Jurassic of China. These Sichuan sauropods were among the first large dinosaurs discovered in East Asia and demonstrate that sauropods achieved great diversity and size in China comparable to the Morrison Formation fauna.

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore

Megalosauropus titanopelobatidus was a meat-eating predator. Carnivorous dinosaurs were active hunters or scavengers, equipped with sharp teeth and claws for catching and consuming prey. They occupied the top of the food chain in their ecosystems.

Time Period

Cretaceous Early Mesozoic Era

Megalosauropus titanopelobatidus lived during the Cretaceous Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 145,0 to 100,5 million years ago.

The Cretaceous saw continued dinosaur evolution with the rise of ornithopods and early ceratopsians. Flowering plants first appeared and began to transform terrestrial ecosystems. Spinosaurus and other large theropods lived during this time.
