"La diversité des théropodes européens à la fin du Jurassique moyen et au
début du Jurassique supérieur semble confimée par la présente étude, avec au
moins six formes distinctes dont trois spinosauroides (*Streptospondylus*,
*Eustreptospondylus*, *Metriacanthosaurus*) et trois allosauroides
(*Piveteausaurus*, le spécimen des Vaches Noires et *Lourinhanosaurus*)."

My translation --
The diversity of European theropods at the end of the Middle Jurassic and at
the beginning of the Upper Jurassic [Callovian-Oxfordian] seems to be
confirmed by the present study, with at least six distinct forms, of which
three are spinosauroids (*S.*, *E.*, *M.*) and three are allosauroids (*P.*,
the specimen from Vaches Noires [found near *S.*] and *L.*).
