As is typical of theropods, the feet were tridactyl (with three clawed weight-bearing toes).
It was about 6to7 m long and 460 kg in weight, making it one of the largest theropods of its time.
The snout itself is laterally compressed, a feature shared with other terrestrial reptiles such as theropod dinosaurs.
The relevant surfaces are eroded so it cannot be determined if the attachment of the orbitosphenoid was loose, as in prosauropods, or firm or fused, as in theropods and sauropods.
Then there is, for my palate, a tiny nugget - a short squib describing a theropod sternal plate (chest bone), that immediately rang recognition bells for me!
Janensch (1920, 1925) described several taxa of large theropod, all based on very fragmentary material.
Rauhut ends this work with a discussion of what the analysis means for theropod phylogeny as a whole.
This work is required reading for anyone working on theropods or with an interest in dinosaur evolution.
