Winton Carnosaur (Tyrannosauropus species)
Lived: 95 million years ago (late Cretaceous)
Size: Length (head to tail): 9-10m
Description: The Winton Carnosaur was a large, two-legged, meat-eating dinosaur that we only know from its footprints. This dinosaur was probably similar in size to Allosaurus and it could have killed animals as large as a buffalo, or larger.
The Winton Carnosaur may have been herding the smaller dinosaurs at the famous Winton trackway site, trying to corner them for an easy kill.
Fossils: The Winton Carnosaur left footprints at the Winton trackway, 100km south of Winton in central Queensland. Each print is around 52mm long and they are spaced 2-4m apart.
Did you know?: Footprints from the Winton Carnosaur are the largest tracks of any late Cretaceous carnivorous dinosaur in Australia.
