Juravenator is a genus of small (75 cm long) coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur (although a 2020 study proposed it to be a hatchling megalosauroid[1]), which lived about 151 or 152 million years ago in the area that would someday become the top of the Franconian Jura of Germany (Painten Formation). It is known from a single, juvenile specimen.
