Ceratosaurus Near a Volcano

Ceratosaurus was a theropod dinosaur. It lived in what is now parts of Western North America and parts of Europe. I guess you could say it was medium-sized. It was 17-23 feet long. It weighed around 1000-2000 lbs. or 464-928 kg. It lived in the Jurassic Period along with a fellow predator, Allosaurus. Some paleontologists think Ceratosaurus was an earlier and less derived theropod, so the larger and more evolved Allosaurus eventually drove Ceratosaurus to extinction. 

The most unique trait of Ceratosaurs was their three horns on their head. There were horns in front of each eye and one "nose horn" further down the snout. They had oversized, sharp teeth - even for a predator.
