Majungasaurus crenatissimus (Depéret, 1896) theropod dinosaur skull (cast) from the Cretaceous of Madagascar (public display, FMNH PR 2100, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois, USA).
Theropod were small to large, bipedal dinosaurs. Almost all known members of the group were carnivorous (predators and/or scavengers). They represent the ancestral group to the birds, and some theropods are known to have had feathers. Some of the most well known dinosaurs to the general public are theropods, such as Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, and Spinosaurus.
