| Epanterias amplexus Cope, 1878 |
Epanterias is a genus of theropod dinosaur described by Edward Drinker Cope in 1878 [1]. Epanterias was a genus of allosaur, and is considered by most paleontologists to be a species of Allosaurus rather than a separate genus. Epanterias may have rivaled Tyrannosaurus rex in size or exceeded it, with length estimates of around 13 or 14 meters.[2].
It lived in the late Jurassic, in western North America. The type species is Epanterias amplexus.
