Torvosaurus tanneri

('savage reptile, for Nathan Eldon Tanner')

Megalosauridae Megalosaurinae

At least 10 m long, and possibly as long as 12 m, Torvosaurus was an exceptionally large megalosaur, among the largest of the Jurassic's theropods found anywhere.

The genus is represented by two recognized species. The type species is T. tanneri, of the Morrison Formation of Colorado and Wyoming, USA. The second species is T. gurneyi ('for James Gurney') from the Lourinhã Formation of Portugal; T gurneyi is the largest known theropod from Europe. There is a possible third species from Germany waiting to be named.

Upper Jurassic, ~153 - 148 Ma.
