Dinosaur Toy Realistic Acrocanthosaurus Model
Acrocanthosaurus is a therapod that lived during the Early Cretaceous Period about 115 million years ago. Its fossils were first discovered in Oklahoma during the 1940s. However, this discovery was largely ignored and forgotten until 1950, when J. Willis Stovall and Wann Langston, Jr rediscovered this species by finding a very large vertebrae segment. They would go on to name the dinosaur Acrocanthosaurus, a name which means 'high-spine lizard.' This name was chosen because it has seventeen inch spikes that travel from its neck to its tail.
