Torvosaurus Vector ————————————————————————— Control: Sorry, this project don’t have any animation :( —————————Description——————————— Torvosaurus (/ˌtɔːrvoʊˈsɔːrəs/) is a genus of large megalosaurine theropod dinosaur that lived approximately 165 to 148 million years ago during the Callovian to Tithonian ages of the late Middle and Late Jurassic period in what is now Colorado, Portugal, Germany, and possibly England, Spain, Tanzania, and Uruguay. It contains two currently recognized species, Torvosaurus tanneri and Torvosaurus gurneyi, plus a third unnamed species from Germany. In 1979, the type species Torvosaurus tanneri was named. Measuring around 9 meters (30 ft) long and weighing approximately 2–2.4 metric tons (2.2–2.6 short tons), T. tanneri was among the largest terrestrial carnivores in North America during the Late Jurassic. Specimens of Torvosaurus gurneyi were measured up to 10 meters (33 ft) in length and 4–5 metric tons (4.4–5.5 short tons) in body mass, suggesting that it was much larger than T. tanneri and was the largest terrestrial carnivore in Europe during the Late Jurassic. Based on bone morphology, Torvosaurus is thought to have had very powerful short arms. Torvosaurus was a very large and robust predatory dinosaur. T. tanneri was initially described as 10 metres (33 ft) long, but a detailed osteological description has revised its length estimate to 9 metres (30 ft). T. gurneyi was initially estimated around 11 metres (36 ft) long, but its body length estimate was revised to 10 metres (33 ft) in its specific description. Claims have been made indicating even larger sizes for the American species T. tanneri, with estimates of up to 12 m (39 ft) in length and more than 4 t (4.4 short tons) based on incomplete remains of Edmarka rex and "Brontoraptor". However, Edmarka rex and "Brontoraptor" lack detailed analyses to verify whether or not they actually belong to T. tanneri. T. tanneri is estimated to have weighed approximately 2–2.4 metric tons (2.2–2.6 short tons), while T. gurneyi is estimated to have weighed 4–5 metric tons (4.4–5.5 short tons). ——————————Credits——————————— Earth Museum Scientists Jurassic Torvosaurus Raptor_Saurus If Used, Credit Me.
