Megalosauripus uzbekistanicus

† Olorotitan arharensis was a lambeosaurine hadrosaurid from the Late Cretaceous Udurchukan Formation of Russia. Distinguished by its elaborate fan-shaped hollow cranial crest with a recurved projection—among the most ornate of all hadrosaur crests—it was a large herbivore (~8m).

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore

Megalosauripus uzbekistanicus 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 uzbekistanicus 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.
