Yes , basal tetanurans . I was not aware that Torvosaurus was in the 40
ft.,3+ ton range . Edmarka would be the candidate for king-size basal
tetanuran . My basic problem is that Edmarka , Saurophaganax , Torvosaurus
and Allosaurus all lived in the same area at the same time
(Kimmeridgian-Tithonian ) . I have no problem with 2 large predators
coexisting but 4 seems to stretch things a bit .
