There is another cool super fragmentary neotheropod that was discovered in the Portland Formation. All that was found from the theropod was the distal end of the right humerus, which was also denser than it's counterparts. According to the paper on the neotheropod, using Cryolophosaurus as a reference, as it's humerus is much closer in appearence to that of Cryolophosaurus than that of Dilophosaurus, and assuming that it has similar arm proportions to that of those two. It would have been a 9 meter long theropod, with it correlating that to the track ways found in the portland formation, that would have come from a 9 meter long theropod. Additionally, they hypothosize that it coulf have had a similar life style to that of Spinosaurids such as Baryonix. And that it coexisted with another smaller 5 meter long theropod (as well there being tracks not mentioned in the paper, that are estimated to come from two different 8 meter long animals one a theropod, the other a Sauropodomorph.) One interesting parallel that I have drawn from the Portland Formation Neotheropod and Spinosaurids, is that. Both it and Spinosaurus are currently thought to be the largest members of their specific groups, both are perhaps semi aquatic, and both appear right after the disappearance of more traditional semi aquatic predators. With the Portland Formation Neotheropod, Rutiodon goes extinct thanks to the Triassic Jurassic extinction, leaving the gap open for a new large semi aquatic predator. While Sarcosuchus goes extinct right before the largest memeber of the Spinosaurids shows up. The both also would have coexisted with another large theropod, though in the Portland Formation it is moreso inferred than known exactly.
I find it very interesting that on both ends on the very early growing atlantic, we have two massive theropods. Both known from super fragmentary remains, yet what material we do have points to them being larger that their contemporaries. Perhaps because the area where they come from recovered faster and was more plentiful with food than other locations? Idk, but Saltrivovenator would have been an amazing animal to stumble upon in real life. Perhaps we will eventually find more animals from Early Jurassic Italy. I hope there is a paleo documentary on Europe through the mesozoic in the same style as Prehistoric Planet, as many of these locations are fragmentary and would benifit from not trying to flesh out an entire ecosystem in a single 1 hour long episode, when we only know of maybe two terrstrial animals and a bunch of marine animals.
Plus then you could have a segment talking about how Iguanodon is no longer a british dinosaur.
You need to keep us updated, if this theropod gets named & described
@@MegaRaptorEN The paper was published in 2021, I don't think they are going to give it a name due to it being so fragmentary, yet still having diagnostable traits from Cryolophosaurus and Dilophosaurus. There was a non pterodactloid pterosaur also found in the Portland in 2021 that preserved a dense wrist, which the same person describing it said that it likely had a 40cm wingspan. Despite the material being a lot for how rare fossils are in the Portland formation, and how exceptional a pterosaur fossil would be to find there, they didn't give it a name.
Bro, the image of large theropod dinosaurs is still so alien to my brain. We live in a world full of giant herbivores (elephants, giraffes, hippos), so the titanic sauropods and ornithischians are easier to concieve, but no actually huge carnivores outside of marine animals like dolphins or whales exist today for us to compare. Some theropod dinosaurs were not only colossal in size and carnivores in diet, but also *bipedal.* The t.rex makes a polar bear (our largest land predator) look small. The polar bear is NOT small. The t.rex was not just "big". It was massive. So exotic to our cenozoic primate brains that it's hard to even picture them in a natural enviroment. After all, when we think of a forest or savana, we think of modern forests and savanas.
This is a very good point and one of the reasons I love these majestic animals. Theropods🥰
Also I do think ExtinctZoo made a video saying 'The Bear that was as large as the Allosaurus', I do think it was the largest terrestrial mammalian predator ever but it died out
@@MegaRaptorEN That makes theropods even more absurd (not in a negative sense). The largest predatory mammal species to ever live was quadrupedal and still smaller than the largest carnovorous dinosaur, which was bipedal.
Well the largest predatory mammal is the sperm whale and it's way bigger than Tyrannosaurus f.e., so I think you meant terrestrial mammalian carnivores because these would get dwarfed by big Theropods
@@MegaRaptorEN yes, this time i forgot to say terrestrial. In my first comment i remembered it so i don't know why this time i forgot
there's also Genyodectes, a ceratosaur from the early Cretaceous which is further proof that these guys would not stop trucking no matter what.
Yh they fought there way through🫡💪 and only extraterrestrial forces could wipe them out tbh
Finally we Ceratofans are eating good!
Ceratosaurids are pretty underrated ngl alongside with Genodectes and of course, ceratosaurus our underrated Dinosaurs at the Jurassic!
Pretty amazing content. Good facts, great memes
Thanks a lot🫡
Ceratosaurus is my favourite dinosaur. It is CRIMINALLY underrated
And underestimated too, It is a big freakin animal
@@MegaRaptorEN well, it is big if you compare it to most of today's animals but it when it was alive, there were many dinosaurs that were far larger than it
Oooooooooo coool id like to see a video about austrolovenator W vid tho saltriovenator since i actually like ceratosaur,s this really ups my liking.
Thank you😀, I wll add Australovenator to the next poll for Dinosaur Profiles (Idk when this will be though)
@@MegaRaptorEN YO THX MAN YOUR AWESOME
Oh hey, I did a Video in Saltriovenator as well a few months ago
Nice video! It is very nice to see new abelisaurids getting talked about as a ceratosaurus fan.
Megalosaurs out there with the thought: We can do better.
And oh boy, did they ever 😂
😂Other than the exception Torvosaurus they didn't💀
@@MegaRaptorEN Afrovenator?
@@MegaRaptorEN And then there is Megalosaurus.
Megalosaurus only weighs half a ton, Cruxicheiros potentially dwarfed it, but as the first dino it is a paleontological success-story
You could make a case for Afrovenator being an Apex-Predator probably
The memes are on point i thought saltri was very small. Ig he got a buff.
Thank you sir🫡, and yh it might have got a buff since 2018
Ceratosaurus in Prior Extinction Roblox be destroying entire Allosaurus packs
When I first learned about Saltriovenator, it was still named Saltriosaurus and regularly reclassified into different families ranging from basal megalosaur to a super-coelophysoid. The fact that after so many years it's finally properly studied and described, is quite pleasant.
Also, Allosaurus didn't outcompete Ceratosaurus, and im the early/mid Cretaceous, when all direct relatives of A. Fragillis were extinct, there was this species called Genyodectes, which is believed to be basically like Ceratosaurus, but in Cretaceous.
How time brings knowledge, It's really pleasant you are right.
Allosaurus didn't just outcompete Ceratosaurus, It's the most common dinosaur in the Morrison Formation by a landslide.
But Niche-Partioning would allow both Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus to live side-by-side.
Genyodectes did live with Tyrannotitan if I'm not mistaken or atl the same formation as Tyrannotitan.
Also I think Ceratosaurs truly took over again with the Abelisaurs in the Late Cretaceous, cause they filled a ton of Apex-Predator niches in 4 different continents
Another Lovley Video and it's giving light to a very underrated ceratosaur!
Thank You🫡, getting the Saltriovenator credit was the goal💪
I, as a ceratosaur Stan, feel so vindicated and happy now. :)
Glad I could make your day, I have a question... which ceratosaur do you like most?
@MegaRaptorEN
Ceratosaurus Dentisulcatus, nothing beats a classic.
Though I do also like Carnotaurus, technically a certosaur, right?
Yes an Abelisaur counts as a Ceratosaur
ah yes the black man in every dino documentary that always dies
I love videos like this
Thank You🫡
Cool, haven't heard of this one before.
Yh, It together with large Ichtyosaurs such as Temnodontosaurus made Early Jurassic Europe pure Nightmare fuel💀
@@MegaRaptorEN its always the early times
Often it is, but it does matter how you spin it.
If you look at the Triassic which is the first time period of the Mesozoic, You'll find all these giant Ichtyosaurs such as Ichtyotitan, but Ichtyotitan is from the Late Triassic around 205 mya.
So I can spin the 'when it lived' in at least two different directions
Could you please talk about the dinosaurs from my country (🇧🇷), they're very underrated.
Which brazilian dinosaur do you have in mind, I would add it to the next poll🫡
Yangchuasaurus and Allo are watching
👀
Thank you very much for covering saltriovenator, i never see anybody cover the dinosaurs from my country.and it's nice too see it covered
Also i was informed that Saltriovenator might have been a noasaurid??? Not a ceratosaur though im unsure 🫤
You're welcome and thank you aswell.
Noasauridae is a group within Ceratosauria, so Saltrio is still a Ceratosaur even if he is a Noasaur
