Appalachiosaurus

Appalachiosaurus ( ; "Appalachian lizard") is a genus of tyrannosauroid theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period of what is now eastern North America. It was a basal member of the clade Eutyrannosauria, meaning it was rather close in relation to the true tyrannosaurids such as Tyrannosaurus. Like most theropods, it was a bipedal predator. Only a juvenile skeleton has been found, representing an animal approximately long and weighing , which indicates an adult would have been significantly larger.
