About This File

Indosuchus raptorius was an abelisaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period (65 to 70 million years ago - the Maastrichtian era),

 

A primitive theropod related to Abelisaurus. Like most theropods, Indosuchus was a bipedal carnivore. It was possibly 20 feet (6 meters) long, and had a crested skull, flattened on the top.

 

Because only some skull elements have been found, Indosuchus placement has been somewhat erratic. Although it's now somewhat firmly placed within the Abelisauridae, it has been also grouped with allosaurs and tyrannosaurs. The discovery of other abelisaurid species like Carnotaurus sastrei has helped clarify its position.
