Lishulong wangi

† Megalosauroidea is a superfamily of theropod dinosaurs including Megalosauridae and Spinosauridae, plus intermediate forms. Megalosauroids were among the dominant large predators of the Jurassic, with spinosaurids later evolving semi-aquatic fish-eating specializations in the Cretaceous.

Time Period

Jurassic Early Mesozoic Era

Lishulong wangi 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.
