Megalosauroidea (meaning 'great/big
lizard forms') is a
superfamily (or clade) of
tetanuran theropod dinosaurs that
lived from the
Middle Jur****ic to...
- the
Coelurosauria at the Neotetanurae/Avetheropoda node.
Members of
Megalosauroidea are
believed to
represent basal tetanurans, but
recent discoveries...
- have
revived Carnosauria as
clade including both
Allosauroidea and
Megalosauroidea (which is
sometimes recovered as
paraphyletic with
respect to Allosauroidea)...
- Carcharodontosauridae, and Neovenatoridae. Allosauroids,
alongside the
family Megalosauroidea, were
among the apex
predators that were
active during the
Middle Jur****ic...

including compsognathids,

Megalosauroidea.
Sciurumimus is
known from a
single holotype fossil that is exceptionally...
-
monophyletic family of
carnivorous theropod dinosaurs within the
group Megalosauroidea.
Appearing in the
Middle Jur****ic,
megalosaurids were

phylogenetic analyses found basal tetanurans that were
outside both
Megalosauroidea and Avetheropoda, the core
dichotomy was
named only in 2012. Carrano...

subdivided into the
basal Megalosauroidea (alternately Spinosauroidea) and the more

together forming a
clade belonging either to
Megalosauroidea or
outside of
Megalosauroidea in the Tetanurae. In 2012,
