#Streptospondylus
Tetanuran theropod that lived in the Late Jurassic in what is now Normandy, France
Looks like a typical theropod, with sharp teeth, powerful legs, and short arms
Mid-sized
Estimated to be 19.5 ft (6 m) long and weigh 1,100 lb (500 kg)
Type species is Streptospondylus altdorfensis
It's one of the first named theropods, but very few people know about it. It has been called the "First binomial name that refers to a theropod"
One of the first dinosaur fossils found and was technically the first dinosaur described, but wasn't the first dinosaur named (wasn't thought to be a theropod until 2001)
Most of the fossils were part of Abbé Bachelet’s private collection in 1770, which ended up with Georges Cuvier in 1800
Mostly found in Honfleur, France, and included cranial and postcranial fossils from two teleosaurs, and some theropod fossils
Guersent sent the fossils to the Museum in Rouen, which led to Georges Cuvier having them
In 1812 Cuvier added more fossils to the collection, fossils found in LeHavre and described in 1776 by Abbé Dicquemare
Unclear where exactly the Bachelet Collection fossils were found, only known they were near Honfleur
The full collection has never been published
Some of the fossils associated with Megalosaurus (part of a pubis, tibia, astragalus and calcaneum)
These fossils examined at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, and those fossils probably found at the Vache Noires cliffs, dated Upper Callovian-Lower Oxfordian (Jurassic)
