Description

Pronounced: APA-lay-CHEE-o-SAW-rus Meaning: “Appalachian Lizard” Common name: Alabama tyrannosaur Age: Late Cretaceous Period Size: 22 feet long Diet: Carnivore

A relative of T.rex, Appalachiosaurus was the dominant predator in Alabama during the Late Cretaceous Period. The bones on display in this exhibit come from the most complete Appalachiosaurus ever discovered and represent the most complete tyrannosaur ever found in the eastern half of the United States. Unlike T.rex, the arms of Appalachiosaurus were large, perhaps representing the largest arms of any tyrannosaur ever discovered in North America. This skeleton represents the first mounted Appalachiosaurus on exhibit in the world.
