Allosaurus fragilis possesses the following unique characters: distinct ‘‘step’’ in the ventral margin of the jugal, leading to a significant ventral displacement of the posterior part in relation to the anterior portion; neomorphic bone ( 5 antarticular of Madsen, 1976); well-developed notch in the anteroventral margin of the prearticular (Rauhut, 2003).
