Massopoda

† Neovenatoridae is a family of carcharodontosauroid theropod dinosaurs from the Cretaceous of Europe, South America, and Asia. Including Neovenator, Fukuiraptor, and possibly Megaraptor, neovenatorids were mid-sized to large predators with gracile build.

Time Period

Jurassic Early Mesozoic Era

Massopoda lived during the Jurassic Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 201.4 to 174.7 million years ago.

After the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, dinosaurs rapidly diversified and became the dominant land vertebrates. Early sauropods and theropods began to evolve larger body sizes.
