Antrodemus is the name given by the American paleontologist Joseph Leidy in 1870, to a very incomplete fossil belonging to a dinosaur from the family Allosauridae, found in the Morrison Formation.
However, scientists agree almost entirely that the fossil belonged to the Allosaurus, although it is almost impossible to determine exactly its gender due to the scarce remains of the holotype found.
In fact, early books on dinosaurs classified Allosaurus as Antrodemus, being the name that was created first.
Currently, the Antrodemus is considered a "nomen dubium", The scientific nomenclature for something"doubtful”, Or, as is this case, impossible to classify.
After studying History at the University and after many previous tests, Red Historia was born, a project that emerged as a means of dissemination where you can find the most important news of archeology, history and humanities, as well as articles of interest, curiosities and much more. In short, a meeting point for everyone where they can share information and continue learning.
