Berberosaurus’s bones record Early Jurassic predators in the High Atlas.
Berberosaurus’s bones record Early Jurassic predators in the High Atlas. It was a theropod that walked on its hind legs. Mainly body bones are known, so the head and other details are reconstructed conservatively using related animals.
Three stages. One companion.

Beyond the game
The real Berberosaurus
The fossils were found in Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, in Early Jurassic rocks. Their age and location make them important for studying early stages of North Africa’s predators.
Analyses do not always agree on its exact place among theropods, so a broad classification is used here. Uncertainty about its family does not change the fact that it is a real dinosaur documented by bones and a fossil site.
