Allosaurus fragilis received its name in 1877. It was named by Othniel Charles Marsh. Allosaurus means "different" or "strange" lizard, and the species name "fragilis" means fragile, referring to the features of the vertebrae that reduce its weight.
The first Allosaurus was discovered in 1877 in Colorado and named by Othniel Charles Marsh. This specimen offered just a few fragments of the dinosaur.
The dinosaur Allosaurus was named by paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in 1877. The name "Allosaurus" means "different lizard" in Greek, referring to its unique characteristics compared to other dinosaurs known at the time.
In 1869, Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden obtained a second hand fossil of an Allosaurus vertabrae that had come from Colorado. He sent it to Joseph Leidy, who in turn assigned it to the new genus Antrodemus. It is now known that this was an Allosaurus fossil. In 1877, Othniel Charles Marsh found some fragmentary remains of Allosaurus, which he then named Allosaurus fragilis.
There is one accepted species in the Allosaurus genus. Its full Latin (or scientific) name is Allosaurus fragilis.
Okey. I'll try to make Allosaurus sound very cool. -Allosaurus was 37 feet long, 14 feet tall and weighed 2-5 tons. -It lived 155-144 Mya, in North America. -Although smaller than Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus may have been the most lethal carnivore on the planet. -Allosaurus could take on any prey item at it's time, like Camarasaurus, Stegosaurus or Camptosaurus. -Allosaurus was the largest carnivore in the movie '' The Lost World. " - The only thing brave enough to take on Allosaurus is a 24 ft long predator named Ceratosaurus. - Allosaurus was found in 1877, and it's name ment '' Different lizard".

There were many species of allosaurs. Allosaurus Fragilis, Allosaurus Atrox, and Allosaurus Amplexus, plus others. Some were nearly as large as T Rex.
Allosaurus was first discovered by the American paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in 1877. The initial fossils were found in the Late Jurassic deposits of Colorado, USA. Marsh named the species Allosaurus fragilis, and it has since become one of the most well-known dinosaur genera due to its distinctive features and predatory behavior.
No descendants of Allosaurus exist today. However, birds evolved from other carnivorous dinosaurs, which were relatives of Allosaurus. Thus, the closest living relatives of Allosaurus are birds. All birds are equally related to Allosaurus.
