Marshosaurus was a genus of medium-sized carnivorous theropod dinosaur that lived during the Morrison Formation at the end of the Jurassic Period. It roamed what is now Utah and perhaps even Colorado, U.S.A. It was named after paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh. It lived alongside other Jurassic animals, such as Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, Diplodocus and other animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compared to the much more famous Allosaurus, it was a relatively small animal. Despite being so small, it was a rather robust skull built for strength. The short but thick humerus of Marshosaurus' arms indicates that it was adapted to physically restrain and subdue its prey. It probably hunted Othnielosaurus. It could attack these animals while running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marshosaurus was a bipedal dinosaur, estimated to be 4.5 meters long and weighing 200 kilograms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
