Skull of an allosaur at the Natural History Museum (896x512)
For 50 million years, before the appearance of tyrannosuarids, Allosaurus ("other lizard") was one of the biggest carivorous dinosaurs. The huge but lightweight skull consisted largely of bony struts, with bony ridges above the eyes. The immense, expandable jaws had long, curved, saw-edged teeth.
