Summary
| Description |
Allosaurus skull: Showing the gape of Allosaurus as hypothesized by Robert Bakker.
- • Head shape and gape based on figure 6 in 'Bakker 1998'. Head based on specien AMNH 666, what Bakker calls 'Creosaur style allosaur'. . 'Creosaurus' is genrally thought to be synonymous with Allosaurus.
- • The skin details are partly speculative. A juvenille allosaur is known to have had scaly skin (Pinegar, R.T., Loewen, M.A., Cloward, K.C., Hunter, R.J., Weege, C.J. 2003. A Juvenile Allosaur with Preserved Integument from the Basal en:Morrison Formation of Central Wyoming. JVP. vol.23(3):87A-88A.) and large theropods with skin impressions show 'typical dinosaurian' scales. (Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs 1997 Philip J. Currie, Kevin Padian)
