Fig. 2. Right tibia of Quilmesaurus curriei compared to other tibiae of Abelisauridae. A-B: Quilmesaurus curriei in lateral and anterior view; C: Aucasaurus garridoi, D: Genusaurus sisterornis, E and H: Ekrixinatosaurus novasi, F: Indosuchus raptorius (Courtesy of Dr. F. E. Novas), G: Rajasaurus narmadensis; I: Pycnonemosaurus nevesi Abbreviations: faap: facet for the ascending process of the astragalus; cc: cnemial crest; lm: lateral malleolus; lma: lateral margin of the malleolus; lpcc: lateral process of the cnemial crest; mm: medial malleolus; mma: medial margin of the malleolus; vmcc: ventral margin of the cnemial crest; vpcc: ventral process of the cnemial crest.

The theropod skull displays the distinctive features of this apex predator, including a long, robust snout, conical teeth, and strong jaw muscles adapted for gripping and tearing prey.

Digital illustration of the Sauropod Dinosaur Isisaurus colberti from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of India (72.2-66 MYA). References include Jain & Bandyopadhyay (1997), several papers from Wilson et al. and skeletal reconstruction by Scott Hartman. Illustrated by Ansh Saxena. About Isisaurus– Isisaurus colberti (=Titanosaurus colberti) was a species of Titanosaurian Sauropod Dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) age in the Indian Subcontinent. Isisaurus lived sympatrically with another Titanosaurian Sauropod Jainosaurus. It also lived alongside Theropods like Rajasaurus, Rahiolisaurus, Indosuchus etc. Remains of Isisaurus come from the Lameta formation of Central India.
