Acrocanthosaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Acrocanthosaurus lived in the Early Cretaceous in the present-day United States. Tall vertebral projections formed a raised ridge along its neck, trunk and tail base. It was among the large carnivores sharing environments with sauropods and smaller herbivorous dinosaurs. Footprints from similar deposits help study large theropod movement, but assigning an individual track to a particular species requires caution.
