Abstract
There is great interest in calculating accurate values for Earth’s palaeogravity. One fundamental technique to quantify palaeogravity is to compute weight against mass estimates of ancient animals. This technique is applied to the theropod dinosaur Megalosaurus bucklandii BMNH 31806 specimen. The results indicate a tentative palaeogravity of 0.51g ± 20% for 167 Ma.
