Now, this includes the carcharodontosaurs. My favorite member of this group is Allosaurus itself. On the average, these predators were about 33 ft long and just over 3 tons in weight. Some estimates go as high as 40 ft and 5 tons though. Either way, they were big. Allosaurus could also hit 20 miles an hour. Along with 3-4 inch long teeth, they also had 6-9 inch claws on their hands. Allosaurus was truly a terror from the Jurassic.

You can include Acrocanthosaurus and Deltadromeus even though Acro may be a spinosaur and Delta is technically a ceratosaur, but may be an allosaur. *Sizes based on my estimates

This concludes the Charcharodontosauridae? Well then, do you even have to ask?

Futurepaleontologist1, I already knew what yours was. Deltadromeus15, I figured by your name, yours would be Delta. People like me are a little harder to figure out, haha

But isn't Carcharodontosauridae a seperate chordata from the Allosauridae? Btw your response made me laugh really hard for some reason. My runner up is Acrocanthosaurus if I couldn't choose Carchar

The allosaurs are considered to be the ancestors of the carcharodontosaurs. I feel they are close enough to put them together.

Well, technically, there all Carnosaurs, but that is just by my book, literally, my Dino book said that.

Some are just closer than others. Keep in mind the ceratosaurs and tyrannosaurs are not Carnosaurs. Ceratosaurs are on their own and the tyrannosaurs are coelurosaurs.

A carnosaur is a carnivorous therapod

Hmm... I think Deltadromeus is awesome. I also like Mapusaurus. Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus were probably my favorites when I was littler. Still like them though.
