The attributed - fossilized footprints. Massive in size.
The unnamed morocco theropod; is an extinct genus of massive theropod that lived in Morocco during the Late Jurassic. The authors did not assign an ichnogenus to this theropod's tracks.
Description[]
The evidence that belonged to this theropod, recovered from Louaridène Syncline formation. The Theropod track maker in Morocco interpreted to belong to a colossal theropod, that was perhaps between 10 to truly staggering 19 meters; approximately 33 to 62 feet; long, although true, validated information is far too scarce. The known facts represent that this animal was a theropod dinosaur that potentially reached a truly massive size, perhaps a true record breaker.
Modern Findings[]
Recently recovered Theropod footprints from Morocco. Size of footprint indicates that it belonged to a truly colossal; titanic Theropod
A team of paleontologists have once again recovered and extracted footprints determined to belong a truly Colossal Theropod. The aforementioned footprints are noticeably larger than many of the giant theropods known to science. Its unknown; however, if these prints are the same species that discovered way earlier in Louaridéne Syncline formation or a differentiated, seperate species and genus. The materials are too few and fragmentary. Albeit it is noteworthy that both of these colossal footprints have discovered within the similar localities correlating within the Morocco; likely indicating the probability that the gargantuan, colossal theropod is the same animal. This “colossal” theropod dinosaur's footprints dating back to about 176 million years ago, during the Middle Jurassic period. Its unknown if this theropod footprints represent the same colossus; albeit it is possible as the timescale for these tracks are from middle to late jurassic period. Quite likely for a theropod's timescale of existance.
The only assurance that these footprints give is that a theropod had lived in Morocco; northern africa; quite likely rivaling the largest known theropods of modern times; such as Giganotosaurus , Mapusaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Tyrannosaurus. The discovered footprints location is once again through Morocco; indicating the fact that borthern africa localities; especially habitats correlate to modern morocco, algeria; tunusia and libya were extremely rich in theropod diversity and species numbers. Once again confirming the reason why paleontologists called middle to late cretaceous period of Africa as literally '' The most dangerous place on Earth '' .
These modern findings are recovered from the Morocco’s Imilchil in the High Atlas Mountains. These footprints belong to a truly amd absolutely massive theropod, The authors of the study said that the footprints, found in the Taghighacht’s archeological site in the Imilchil region, are longer than 70 centimeters - a true rarity in the international records !
