Neovenatoridae
Extinct family of dinosaurs / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neovenatoridae is a proposed clade of carcharodontosaurian dinosaurs uniting some primitive members of the group such as Neovenator with the Megaraptora, a group of theropods with controversial affinities. Other studies recover megaraptorans as basal coelurosaurs unrelated to carcharodontosaurs. Other theropods with uncertain affinities such as Gualicho, Chilantaisaurus and Deltadromeus are also sometimes included.
It has been suggested that this article be merged into Allosauroidea. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2024. |
