size: unknown due to too little fossil evidence
Duriavenator ("Dorset hunter") is the genus name assigned in 2008 to what had previously been classified as a species of Megalosaurus, M. hesperis.The middle Jurassic Duriavenator is one of the earliest identified tetanuran ("stiff-tailed") dinosaurs, preceded (perhaps) only by Cryolophosaurus.

MemberCompsognathusJul-27-2014 12:42 PMI do think that I've heard the name before, but until now, I wasn't really sure.
Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe in. -Brom-

MemberCompsognathusJul-27-2014 12:48 PMI knew about this dinosaur before, but good choice as it's not that well known.
As far as it's size goes, I'm gonna guess it was anywhere between 6-9 meters long since it was called Megalosaurus for a while. Megalosaurus is about 8-9 meters long. The fossils they have of it actually look a little like Ceratosaurus to me...
Maybe it's just the teeth.
