Acrocanthosaurus Toy

History

Partial skeletons of Acrocanthosaurus was first discovered in Oklahoma in the early 1940s, and named in 1950. Because a lot of the bones were missing, we weren’t sure exactly what Acroacanthosaurus looked like. In the 1990s, much more complete skeletons were discovered. These skeletons provided more information on the unusual spines on the backbone and allowed us to understand how the front limbs were used for hunting.
