EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Ceratosaurus: A Bipedal Carnivore from the Jurassic Period of North America". This print showcases the anterior skeleton of Ceratosaurus, a bipedal carnivorous dinosaur that once roamed the lands of North America around 150 to 144 million years ago. The Ceratosaurus, a member of the Ceratosauria order, is displayed proudly at the United States National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. Belonging to the larger group of Reptilia, Ceratosaurus is a Dinosauria, a subclass of the Archosauria, which includes both dinosaurs and their precursors. Ceratosaurus is further classified as a Lepidosaur, a subgroup of the Lepidosauria, and a Ceratosaurian, a subgroup of the Diapsida, which is characterized by having two holes in the skull for the temporal fenestra. Ceratosaurus is known for its distinctive features, such as its large, horned frill at the back of its skull and its sharp, serrated teeth. This fearsome predator likely stood at around 20 feet long and weighed up to 4 tons. Its bipedal stance, with its hind legs longer than its forelimbs, allowed it to move swiftly and efficiently across the terrain. The Ceratosaurus skeleton on display at the National Museum of Natural History is a testament to the rich history of prehistoric life on our planet. Its presence serves as a reminder of the diverse and fascinating creatures that once inhabited our world, providing valuable insights into the evolution of life on Earth. This print, featuring the Ceratosaurus skeleton, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Jurassic period and allowing us to marvel at the beauty and complexity of this ancient creature.
