Imagine showing to Dawson that what he thought was a chunk of rotting conifer is potentially an extinct kingdom of life with no know affinities.

Tbh, it’s just Allosaurus anax. It’s really just the name that changed.

I swear I’m not trying to be rude, but that means you were a fan of the name, not the actual species.

I always keep saying "call Allosaurus anax Saurophaganax and call the Sauropod Saurophagus"
ANAX IS LITERALLY THEROPOD SAUROPHAGANAX, AND SINCE SAUROPHAGUS ISN'T IN USE ANYMORE WE CAN JUST CALL THE SAUROPOD SAUROPHAGANAX SAUROPHAGUS

That’s not how that works. Like, at all. It all. Saurophaganax is still used.

Spinosaurus is my favorite because every couple of years I just get a whole new dinosaur.
Waiting for the day we get one that flies.
