Prompt used to create the image
Scientifically accurate paleoart of Allosaurus, a carnivore Allosauridae dinosaur from the Late Jurassic (about 155–143 million years ago). Bipedal with the back held roughly horizontal and the tail held straight out behind for balance, never dragging on the ground. NOT standing upright like a kangaroo. Mouth closed with all teeth fully hidden behind scaly lips, like a monitor lizard. NO visible teeth. A long, narrow skull with a pair of small triangular horns just in front of the eyes and low ridges along the top of the snout. Reference: Allosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived 155 to 143 million years ago during the late Jurassic period. The first fossil remains that could definitively be ascribed to this genus were described in 1877 by Othniel C. Marsh. The name "Allosaurus" means "different lizard", alluding to its lightweight vertebrae, which Marsh believed were unique. Anatomy: hands held with palms facing each other (not pronated, not palms-down, not dangling); three main weight-bearing toes on each foot; strong arms with three large curved claws on each hand; about 9 meters long, slender and agile compared to tyrannosaurs, skin of small scales. Full body in side view, whole animal visible, standing in a semi-arid Late Jurassic floodplain like the Morrison Formation of western North America, with conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, tree ferns and ferns along a river, no grass and no flowering plants. Natural history museum illustration style, realistic textures and natural daylight, muted natural colors. No text, no labels, no humans, no modern objects.
Facts in the prompt come from Wikipedia (en) and Paleobiology Database
Allosaurus
Name meaning: From Greek, meaning "different lizard", because its backbones differed from those of other dinosaurs known at the time.
📏 About 9.5 m long, like a medium-sized truck, and weighing around 2 tonnes.

Pin Allosaurus on the globe
Allosaurus was the most common large predator of Late Jurassic North America. It had a big head, curved saw-edged teeth, strong three-fingered arms and small bony crests above its eyes.
Fun facts
- An Allosaurus skeleton nicknamed "Big Al" shows many injuries and infections: life as a predator was not easy.
- Allosaurus lived alongside long-necked sauropods such as Diplodocus and Brontosaurus.
Who lived alongside it
Dinosaurs found in the same rock formation as Allosaurus (Morrison), so they lived in the same region at roughly the same time.

Camarasaurus

Stegosaurus

Apatosaurus

Diplodocus

Camptosaurus

Nanosaurus

Dryosaurus

Brontosaurus
Formation data from the Paleobiology Database, counting only each genus's main formations. One formation can span hundreds of thousands to millions of years, so this doesn't mean any two of them ever met.
