Afrovenator — size comparison — facts and sources

Afrovenator was a predatory theropod discovered in Niger. Its relatively slender body, long tail and grasping forelimbs create a different outline from a heavily built tyrannosaur. Teeth cut flesh, and the forelimbs ended in claws.

The fossils come from the Tiourarén Formation, initially assigned a Cretaceous age. Later analysis instead indicated a Jurassic age for the formation.
