Epimostropheus

Epimostropheus(Meaning "Elongated Vertebrae'), was an unusual genus of Middle Jurassic Megalosaur, that was 20 feet in length. It was found in the Itat formation in Russia, in 2062. It might have competed for food against the much smaller tyrannosauroid, Kileskus. Only 3 specimens have been found so far and one died from a brutal injury. The first fossil was found in the 6th of May, 2062, when a few teenagers who tresspassed the area, stumbled upon the bones. In 2062 it was designated as an indeterminate species, as it only contained of a hip bone and a femur. In 2063 it was found to have infection in the femur area, and might be the reason it died. People called this specimen "Big Kyle", since people at that time thought it was an overgrown adult Kileskus. In 2075 a paleontologist who came to visit the Itat formation, dug up some more bones, belonging to a large theropod. He found 6 teeth, 1 foot claw, and the frontal region of the upper jaw. The jaw also seemed to be covered by holes, suggesting another infected specimen. Some theorized it was an ongoing disease that eventually led to the downfall of the species. It was also removed from Kileskus and was turned into its own genus, Megakileskus Itatensis. Some called it K. Itatensis. It was also classified as a Megalosaur but its name stayed the same. The third specimen was found in 2079, and was found to have a dislocated body, with a missing head. Theensre were trees nearby, suggesting it decapitated itself. The tail vertabra was very unusual, looking very stiff and elongated. This gave scientists a chance of changing its name thus turning it into Epimostropheus Itatensis. The last specimen was later nicknamed Emmy. Scientists also say that Epimostropheus had a stiff tail to hunt prey and the tail was there to perfect sharp turns.
