Quilmesaurus is an extinct genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in Argentina during the Late Cretaceous period. In the late 1980s, a field team from Universidad Nacional Tucumán, led by Jaime Powell, discovered forty kilometers south of the city of Roca, in the province of Río Negro, southern Argentina, the remains of a theropod near the Salitral Ojo of water. In 2001, Rodolfo Description. The partial femur of Quilmesaurus (A-D) compared to that of Carnotaurus (E-G) The preserved portion of femur is robust and boxy in shape. The rear face of the tip of the bone possessed prominent condyles (joint bumps) for connecting to the tibia (on the inner face of the leg) and fibula (on the outer face of the leg). Quilmesaurus belongs to the family of theropod dinosaur that had been found existed in the Late Cretaceous period, over 80-70 million years ago. The fossil remains of the species were first discovered in Woodlands of South Africa especially in south of Roca City, in Río Negro and near the Salitral Ojo de Agua. This carnivore species comes Quilmesaurus is a genus of carnivorous theropod dinosaur from the Patagonian Upper Cretaceous (Campanian stage) of Argentina. It was a member of Abelisauridae, closely related to genera such as Carnotaurus. The only known remains of this genus are leg bones which share certain similarities to a variety of abelisaurids.
