Beyond the game

The real Juravenator

It is known from a single juvenile specimen measuring about seventy-five centimeters. Therefore, the size of the fossil should not be directly interpreted as that of an adult.

It was found in the Jura mountains, in Germany. This measurement describes the preserved specimen, not necessarily the adult of its species. The age of the fossil must accompany any size comparison.

This grouping describes evolutionary relationships. Its members share ancestors; they do not form a chain in which one must turn into another.
