Megalosaurus

About Megalosaurus
Megalosaurus was among the very first dinosaurs to be discovered and named. The first known fossils were found in the mid 1670s. Although these fossils have been lost, original illustrations of them still exist.

Megalosaurus was actually the very first dinosaur to be officially named, even before the group of reptiles were called 'dinosaurs.' For many years, as other dinosaurs with sharp teeth were discovered, they were thought to be a Megalosaurus. Further study today has allowed peleontologists to separate them into many different animal groups.
