Re: European predator question=)

["David Marjanovic" <david.marjanovic@gmx.at>]

 

what is the
largest predatory dinosaur found in Europe?  In other words, who was "the
king",

"Das Monster von Minden", a few bones from the Late Jurassic of Minden in middle Germany that hint at something 1.5 times as big as *Allosaurus*, means, 15 m long or so.

have there been any "tyrannosaurids" found yet?

Check the archives of the past few weeks for *Eotyrannus lengi* from the Early Cretaceous of the Isle of Wight (England) -- even though most Britons will probably protest that I call England Europe ;-)

 

In addition, there was a very large (11 m or so) abelisaur from the Late Cretaceous of southern France (unnamed, undescribed, unpublished in technical journals...).
