Presenter Information

Abstract

New CT data has provided new insight into the skull anatomy of the predatory dinosaur Allosaurus jimmadseni, and morphological differences in the pneumatic sinuses of the skulls of two species in the genus Allosaurus (A. fragilis and A. jimmadseni) may clarify the distinction between the two species.
