Allosaurus lived in North America and Portugal during the Late Jurassic Period approximately 155 to 145 Million years ago. Allosaurus was discovered in 1869 and described in 1877 during the infamous “Bone Wars”, a period of competitive fossil hunting between the paleontological rivals Dr. Edward Drinker Cope and Dr. Othniel Charles Marsh. 
Allosaurus has the distinction of being among the few dinosaurs to have a nearly fully complete specimen found; the most notable individual “Big Al”, is one of the most scientifically significant dinosaurs to ever be discovered. Its skeleton is believed to be approximately 95% complete and it featured a wide array of “Pathologic Bones” that showcased various injuries and serious infections that Big Al suffered before its untimely death. Some of these injuries include broken ribs and vertebrae, and a severe bone infection on its foot. It is worth noting that Big Al was thought to have been an Allosaurus fragilis, however, it was determined to be its own type specimen in 2020, Allosaurus jimmadseni!
Allosaurus had a strong bite, but it was nowhere near as specialized for crunching bones like some of its contemporaries. Rather, Scientists believe that Allosaurus was capable of opening its jaws incredibly wide and using its powerful neck muscles to clamp down with its jaws and tear off large chunks of flesh!
