The Ridge Ripper- new Australian theropod
-
08-03-2012 7:31pm#1It seemingly is a relative to Megaraptor, larger than Australovenator and described by a paleontologist as "a ripper of a dinosaur", which used its enormous claws to "catch and slash" at its prey.
Now if this hand isn´t impressive I don´t know what is:
The Ridge Ripper would be similar in size to Allosaurus (in the article they say four meters long, but I'm sure its a mistake- it must be forty feet, 12 meters, and three meters tall at the hip. (Australovenator was around 6 meters tall, making this new predator twice as big). It has been suggested that this may actually be Rapator, a mystery dino whose fossilized remains (a hand bone) was found in the same area, but this hasn´t been confirmed and everything seems to indicate it's a brand new dino.

Find of the day no doubt!
