Furileusauria
Clade of abelisaurid theropod dinosaurs / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Furileusauria ("stiff back lizards") is an extinct clade of derived abelisaurid dinosaurs only known from South American fossil remains.[1] They represent some of the largest members of the Abelisauridae, with an average length of 7.1 ± 2.1 m (23.3 ± 6.9 ft).[2] The clade is defined as the most inclusive clade containing Carnotaurus sastrei but not Ilokelesia aguadagrandensis, Skorpiovenator bustingorryi, or Majungasaurus crenatissimus.[1]
It has been suggested that this article be merged into Carnotaurinae. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2024. |
