Description Finally the paleoart of an Allosauroid in which I wanted to draw a long time ago, the Asfaltovenator, this is a very important fossil find for me, since I love Allosauroids, even most of my paleoartes are from these animals, so, I hope you liked it, I didn’t make the best color choice for him, even because I was inspired by Puma, so it wasn't a very nice color, but I hope you like it.

Asfaltovenator vialidadi, was a theropod dinosaur from the Allosauroidea super family, its fossil findings correspond to South America, specifically in Argentina, this animal would be a close relative of Allosaurus and Metriacanthosaurus in Europe and North America, the discovery of this animal revealed a possible relationship between Allosauroids and Megalosauroids, both are tetanuran dinosaurs, that is, they are closer to birds than to Ceratosaurians, although in the Jurassic period in Argentina megalosaurids already existed, with Piatnitzkysaurus and Condorraptor, perhaps these animals are quite related in some way, after all, it is yet another piece in the great puzzle of prehistoric life in South America.
