Art of two megaraptor dinosaurs
Megaraptor dinosaurs. Artwork of two Megaraptor namunhuaiquii dinosaurs at night. Fossils of these large carnivorous dinosaurs were discovered in Argentina in 1997. They are larger than most of the raptor-type dinosaurs, which generally stood at about the height of a human. Megaraptor is believed to have been around four metres tall, and over seven metres long. It had a fearsome 30 centimetre long hooked toe-claw on its feet (seen in lower frame) which it probably used for ripping open its prey. They are thought to have lived in the late Jurassic and Cretaceous periods (around 170-65 million years ago)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring artwork of two Megaraptor namunhuaiquii dinosaurs in a nocturnal setting. Discovered in Argentina back in 1997, the fossils of these magnificent carnivorous creatures have provided invaluable insights into our prehistoric past. Towering over most raptor-type dinosaurs, which typically stood at human height, Megaraptors were true giants of their time. Standing at an impressive four meters tall and stretching over seven meters long, they commanded both size and strength. The lower frame reveals one of their most fearsome features - a menacing hooked toe-claw measuring a staggering 30 centimeters in length. This formidable weapon was likely used to tear apart their unfortunate prey with ease. Believed to have roamed the Earth during the late Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, approximately 170-65 million years ago, Megaraptors left an indelible mark on history. Through this remarkable artwork captured by Science Photo Library, we are transported back to an era when these majestic beasts ruled the land. The intricate details bring these ancient creatures to life once more, allowing us to marvel at their sheer power and dominance. This print is not just a testament to scientific discovery but also serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity that once thrived on our planet millions of years ago.
