Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. T. Carrano et al. 2012 | Megalosauroid theropod with obliquely oriented foramina located ventrally on lateral surface of dentary that are elongated to resemble grooves. Magnosaurus can also be distinguished from all other temporally and geographically proximate theropods (Benson 2010b). |
