Allosaurus robustus
Allosaurus robustus, known as the Dwarf Allosaur, is a bone from a theropod dinosaur that lived in Australia about 106 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. It may be related to Allosaurus but is smaller and lived 30 million years after all other allosaurs had gone extinct. As it is known only from a single bone nothing more can be said. It was named as Allosaurus robustus in 2000.[1]
Besides its poor fossil record, it is famous for appearing in the BBC television series Walking with Dinosaurs.[2]
It is only known from an ankle bone, making it impossible to figure out its genus. The bone may have belonged to Australovenator.
