The Carnotaurus Scale Drawing
The genus title interprets as “meat-eating bull”. This can be a reference to the 2 outstanding horns positioned on the highest of the cranium. Carnotaurus was scientifically described in 1985, by the well-known Argentinian palaeontologist José Bonaparte. It’s identified from a single, well-preserved fossil skeleton (MACN-CH 894).
The strata related to the fossils have been as soon as thought to signify late Campanian deposits. Nonetheless, subsequent research have proposed that the rocks are youthful (Maastrichtian faunal stage of the Late Cretaceous).
The Every thing Dinosaur Carnotaurus reality sheet has been amended and the brand new scale drawing might be used for instance the approximate dimension of this theropod dinosaur. A spokesperson from Every thing Dinosaur confirmed that these adjustments had been made in preparation for the arrival of the brand new Rebor Carnotaurus determine.

Dinosaurs of the La Colonia Formation
While quite a few dinosaur fossils are related to the La Colonia Formation, only some taxa have been erected. Carnotaurus was the primary dinosaur genus to be named from fossils from this formation. Intriguingly, one other genus of abelisaurid was not too long ago described (Koleken inakayali). Koleken was formally described in 2024. It’s identified from a partial skeleton that most likely represents a sub-adult. It’s thought to have been smaller than Carnotaurus sastrei.

Ornithischians resembling hadrosauroid and armoured dinosaur stays are related to this formation. Sauropods are identified too. Nonetheless, just one plant-eating dinosaur taxon has been established. Earlier this yr (2024), scientists (Moreno et al) erected Titanomachya gimenezi. It’s identified from fragmentary stays and Titanomachya has been described as being a small-bodied saltasauroid. Maybe Carnotaurus hunted this titanosaur, though the feeding habits of Carnotaurus are disputed.
