Info

Ceratosaurus (Marsh, 1884) > Ceratosaurus nasicornis (Marsh, 1884) Ceratosaurus ingens (Janensch, 1920) = Megalosaurus ingens (1) (Janensch, 1920)

Ceratosaurus (Marsh, 1884) > Ceratosaurus willisobrienorum (Welles, Powell & Pickering, vide Pickering, 1995) = Ceratosaurus dentisulcatus (Madsen & Welles, 2000) = Ceratosaurus magnicornis (Madsen & Welles, 2000)

Ceratosaurus (Marsh, 1884) > Ceratosaurus sp. (Mateus, Walen and Antunes 2006)

Based on a rather large elongate teeht (14,5 cm in length incl. root) representing a very large carnivore.

(HMN MB. R1050) (~7-8 m; ~1.1-1.7 tons) teeth (to 120 mm) Thought to be quite large by Paul and others, it is... for Ceratosaurus. Though one cannot be certain where in the tooth row the 120 mm long type (excluding root) belongs, the animal would only be 7-8 meters long if it happened to be one of the larger maxillary crowns. The holotype quadrate of Ceratosaurus roechlingi is actually from a demonstrably larger individual, about 9.3 meters long.
