Eustreptospondylus — size comparison — facts and sources

Eustreptospondylus was a predator of Jurassic Europe. Its slender, toothed head and three-fingered forelimbs fit the megalosaurid body plan. Oxford-area finds are important evidence of ancient British theropods and their diversity.

Present-day Britain was then much more divided by shallow seas. Bones in these deposits do not establish a permanently aquatic lifestyle.
