However, Proceratosaurus was likely not a big game hunter, lacking the bone-crushing teeth and extremely powerful bites of the tyrannosaurids. Instead, it possessed an elongated skull, commonly found in basal coelurosaurs and basal tyrannosauroids. Paleoenvironment The flora from the roughly equivalently aged Taynton Limestone Formation in Oxfordshire is dominated by araucarian and cheirolepidiacean conifers as well as bennettitaleans and Pelourdea, representing a probably seasonally dry coastal environment. Other dinosaurs known from equivalently aged deposits from the Bathonian of Britain include the large theropod Megalosaurus, the sauropod Cetiosaurus, as well as indeterminate ornithschians. A diverse microvertebrate fauna is known from the equivalently aged Forest Marble Formation, including frogs, salamanders, turtles, choristoderes, lizards, rhynchocephalians, crocodyliformes, and mammaliamorphs including tritylodontids, morganucodonts, docodonts, allotherians and eutriconodonts.
