Pandoravenator fernandezorum

Pandoravenator is a genus of theropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic of central Patagonia. Fossils in the form of a fragmentally preserved postcranial skeleton of this dinosaur were discovered and scientifically described in 2017 by paleontologists Oliver Rauhut and Diego Pol as the type species P. fernandezorum.

No picture of Pandoravenator fernandezorum was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata and iDigBio were searched and had none. Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Pandoravenator fernandezorum, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers

At most 8.7 million years on record.

The one occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 157.9 Mya and 149.2 Mya, which is a dating window rather than a span.

1 occurrence of Pandoravenator fernandezorum on record, most of them in the Late Jurassic. Bar height is expected occurrences, not a count: each fossil is spread across the span it is dated to, so a tall narrow bar means tight dating and a low wide one means loose.

When

1 occurrences

These are dates about fossils, not the animal: the record can only begin after it arose and end before it died out, so either end may reach further. Shares are expected occurrences: a fossil dated to a span is counted partly in each period it straddles. More on what this infers.
