Aerosteon was a theropod dinosaur from late Cretaceous Argentina. Many of its bones were light, enabling it to run faster than most carnivores of its size
In Planet Dinosaur[]
Episode 1: Lost World[]
Aerosteon appered in a database scene about the respiratory system of Carcharodontosaurus. During this part, it shows how certain allosaurs (even though Aerosteon is argued to be a megaraptoran) used their air-sacs to them during a hunt.
Errors[]
- Aerosteon in real life belonged to Megaraptora, a group of theropod dinosaurs which are believed to be related to tyrannosaurs, while in Lost World, it is depicted as a carcharodontosaurid.
