The theropods Allosaurus, Elaphrosaurus and Ceratosaurus are present. This the traditional view in popular publications. It was the center piece of the idea of a cosmopolitan sauropod fauna in the Late Jurassic. If accepted it would indicate land connections between North America, Europe and Africa still existed in the Late Jurassic.
Allosaurus species are regualry found in faunas dominated by sauropods.
Allosaurus was indentified by a tibia, theropod remains are speculative based on scrappy and indeterminate remains.
Ceratosaurus fossils remains are considered indeterminate but related to finds in Europe and North America. |
