![]() ![]() Velociraptor had a pair of huge sickle claws on each foot. It was three feet tall - about as tall as an adult human - and was light. Velociraptor is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived approximately 75 to 71 million years ago, during the latter part of the Cretaceous Period. It had three-fingered hands tipped with massive talons. It was a fierce carnivore with sharp, serrated teeth in its gaping jaws. Allosaurus is a genus of large theropod dinosaur that lived 155 to 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period.Īllosaurus was massive and smart enough to fight in packs, taking down prey twice the size of Tyrannosaurus Rex. Carcharodontosaurus is a genus of carnivorous carcharodontosaurid dinosaurs that existed between 100 and 94 million years ago, during the Cenomanian stages of the mid-Cretaceous Period.Ĭarcharodontosaurus had smaller arms like the T-Rex, and three air cavities in its chest, making it able to run fast and for a long time. It was very maneuverable and hunted in packs. It also had a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth, a superfast top sprinting speed, was 25 feet long, and was extremely smart. Utahraptor was very lethal, comparable to the raptors in Jurassic Park, with nine to 15-inch claws. It contains a single species, Utahraptor ostrommaysorum, which is the largest known member of the family Dromaeosauridae. Utahraptor is a genus of theropod dinosaurs. It could take down a full-grown Argentinosour! Giganotosaurus was 43 feet long and weighed 13 tons. Giganotosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived in what is now Argentina, during the early Cenomanian age of the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 99.6 to 97 million years ago. It had an 18,000-pound-per-square-inch bite that eliminated all of its competitors (including Spinosaurus)! A deadly bacteria in its saliva would utterly terminate helpless prey that somehow survived the initial bite. It was 37-50 feet long, up to 23 feet tall, and weighed 11 tons - twice as heavy as an Asian elephant. Tyrannosaurus Rex was more intelligent, and far more lethal, than any of its competition. Its bite force reached up to 12,800 pounds. It also had a tremendous bite force, the strongest of any dinosaur and living terrestrial animal. Tyrannosaurus, meaning "tyrant lizard", from the Ancient Greek tyrannos, "tyrant", and sauros, "lizard" is a genus of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur. Spinosaurus was a fish eater that sometimes ate other meat. Spinosaurus was the largest of all carnivorous dinosaurs, weighing the same as three buses. ![]() Spinosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived in what now is North Africa, during the lower Albian to lower Cenomanian stages of the Cretaceous period, about 112 to 97 million years ago. While a nickname for the Gorgosaurus skeleton has yet to be officially announced, “Gorgeous George” has become a strong contender among Sotheby’s social media followers. The world record price for dinosaur fossils remains at $31.8 million (£24.6 million) sold to a private buyer at an online auction in 2020. Other natural history items up for auction Thursday include a complete T-Rex tooth with roots that sold for just over $100,000, a Triceratops skull that sold for $661,500 and a saber-toothed tiger skull. It has 79 bone elements, is 10 feet (three meters) high and 22 feet long. The fossil was discovered on private land in the US state of Montana. Though smaller than its dinosaur cousin, it was faster, fiercer, and had a more powerful bite, optimized to “cut into thick skin and penetrate deep into the flesh of its prey,” according to Sotheby’s. The Gorgosaurus roamed the earth about 77 million years ago and, like the T-Rex, had a large head, a mouth full of curved, serrated teeth, and small, two-fingered front legs. Only 20 fossils of this species are known worldwide. It is the only specimen of its kind that is offered in private ownership. The Gorgosaurus was expected to receive bids of up to $8 million. The first, a T-Rex nicknamed Sue, was sold to Chicago’s Field Museum in 1997 for $8.36 million. ![]() The sale is the second ever of a fossilized dinosaur skeleton to have been auctioned off by Sotheby’s. ![]()
