Berberosaurus was a moderate-sized theropod whose remains were found in Morocco, Egypt. The remains belonged to a young adult, and they were found amidst the remains of the prosauropod Tazoudasaurus. It’s estimated to have reached sixteen feet head-to-tail and clocked in around 485 pounds in weight. Scientists speculate that this theropod may have been the oldest-known true ceratosaur.
