Megalosauripus transjuranicus

Oligosylphe rencheni was an Oligocene bird from Europe, of uncertain systematic affinity. This small Paleogene bird contributes to understanding the Oligocene avifauna of Europe, when major radiations of modern bird families occurred following the Eocene-Oligocene transition.

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore

Megalosauripus transjuranicus 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

Jurassic Late Mesozoic Era

Megalosauripus transjuranicus lived during the Jurassic Late period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 161.5 to 145.0 million years ago.

One of the most iconic periods for dinosaurs. Giant sauropods like Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus roamed alongside predators like Allosaurus. Archaeopteryx, the earliest known bird, appeared. The Morrison Formation preserves an extraordinary fossil record from this time.
