Allosaurus fragilis vs. "Creosaurus" atrox
Dear dinosaurophiles,
Is there any simple way of telling apart _Allosaurus fragilis_ and
"Creosaurus" atrox? Bakker seems to have shown that these two species are in
distinct genera (whether Creosaurus is correct or atrox needs a new genus is
beyond me). However, most publications label pictures of these allosaurs as
_A. fragilis_, or, simply, _Allosaurus_. Since I draw dinosaurs, I need to
know how to distinguish _A. fragilis_ from "C." atrox in the pictures in my
resources.
Any help would be great!
