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.
