Theropods from lightning Ridge

[dinosaur man]

Hi I’m wondering what Theropods are found in lightning Ridge Australia   @Down under fossil hunter

[Paleoworld-101]

Predominantly megaraptorans.

The most complete specimen is described as 'Lightning Claw' (no taxonomic name was given due to the fragmentary nature of the animal), and was slightly larger than its probable close relative Australovenator. It was described by my academic supervisor Dr Phil Bell. 

 

See: Bell, Phil R.; Cau, Andrea; Fanti, Federico; Smith, Elizabeth T. 2016. A large-clawed theropod (Dinosauria: Tetanurae) from the Lower Cretaceous of Australia and the Gondwanan origin of megaraptorid theropods. Gondwana Research 36: 473–487
