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.

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.
