Also, the T-rex arms and tail are shorter. (T-rex arms are comically tiny!)

Does anybody have a decent picture of Allosaurus? All of the ones that I've found online don't have much detail.

Edit: Sorry about the double post!

Allosaurus is slightly smaller in height.
Allosaurus lived in Jurassic.
Tyrannosaurus lived in Late Cretaceous.
Tyrannosaurus has a thicker head, shorter & stockier neck.
Allosaurus has a smaller head with a more sinewy neck

This is a pic of a model for Allosaurus, but it's fairly detailed:

Here's a pic of Tyrannosaurus:

I noticed something I hadn't before...D'oh...
Tyrannosaurus has 2 digits on its teeny-tiny forearms.
Allosaurus has 3 digits on its larger forearms.

Here's a pic comparing the two:

The skull of the T. rex is much more robust, and the jaw joint is much lower than the line of the jaw.

T.Rex also had short arms, didn't it?

Well, in a previous post I *did* say "teeny-tiny" .

Oh, just thought of a funny visual. Remember the TV ads for "Meet the Robinsons"? There was a really funny one with a T-Rex who was a sidekick to the villain who mutters (when the villain asks about "going after the boy") "Because I have a big head and tiny arms".

Well, I thought it was funny .

Can someone find me a good picture of a Velocaraptor, most of the ones I find are just drawings.
