  1. genus megalosaurus

    "Megalosaurus" is a genus of large, meat-eating theropod dinosaurs that existed during the Middle Jurassic period, approximately 166 million years ago. The genus Megalosaurus was one of the first dinosaurs to be described scientifically, and its name means "great lizard." Megalosaurus is significant in the history of paleontology because it was one of the three genera used by Richard Owen to define the novel group Dinosauria in 1842. Its fossil remains have been found in England.
