Allosaurus fragilis

The razor-toothed Allosaurus as seen in Dinosaurs in Their Time at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. This giant meat-eating dinosaur once roamed the world 150 million years ago, long before Tyrannosaurus rex appeared. With razor-sharp teeth, hooked claws, and jaws that could expand to bite huge mouthfuls of flesh from victims, Allosaurus was one of the Jurassic Period’s ultimate hunters.

Stegosaurus armatus

Known as one of the largest plated dinosaurs, the massive Stegosaurus armatus stands ready to defend itself in Dinosaurs in Their Time at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. It lived about 150 million years ago and could grow as big as a bull elephant, making Stegosaurus the largest known plated dinosaur. This specimen was first found in Utah by Carnegie Museum’s Earl Douglass and crew between 1920 and 1922.
