All fossils sold are authentic fossils, no replicas. DeltadromeusDeltadromeus (meaning "delta runner") is a genus of theropod dinosaur from Northern Africa. It had long, unusually slender hind limbs for its size, suggesting that it was a swift runner. The skull is not known. One fossil specimen of a single species (D. agilis, or "agile delta runner") has been described, found in the Kem Kem Beds, which date to the mid-Cretaceous Period, about 95 million years ago.The holotype of Deltadromeus agilis is a partial skeleton of an animal which is estimated to have measured 26 ft long. The weight of the living animal was estimated to have been slightly more than 1 ton. AbelisaurAbelisauridae is family of ceratosaurian theropod dinosaurs. Abelisaurids thrived during the Cretaceous period, on the ancient southern supercontinent of Gondwana, and today their fossil remains are found on the modern continents of Africa and South America, as well as on the Indian subcontinent and the island of Madagascar. Abelisaurids first appear in the fossil record of the early middle Jurassic period and survived until the end of the Mesozoic era 66 million years ago.Like most theropods, abelisaurids were carnivorous bipeds. They were characterized by stocky hind limbs and extensive ornamentation of the skull bones, with grooves and pits. Most of the known abelisaurids would have been between 17 to 30 ft in length, from snout to tip of tail. TH002
