Carcharodontosaurus
Click here for more Carcharodontosaurus Pictures
Carcharodontosaurus was a carnivorous (meat-eating) dinosaur
that lived in Africa
during Cretaceous period.
between approximately 98 to 93 million
years ago.
Carcharodontosaurus was 36 to 44 feet (11.1 to 13.5 meters) long.
tall, and probably weighed approximately 6 tons. For a while it
was thought to have had the largest skull of any
Theropod dinosaur (partly because
of misinterpretation of incomplete
fossils), but
today that honor is held by its relative
Giganotosaurus.
The first fossils of
Carcharodontosaurus were found in
1927,
are were initially named "Megalosaurus saharicus" (the name "Megalosaurus"
was once used to refer to numerous different
Theropod dinosaurs).
The name "Carcharodontosaurus" was chosen by
Ernst Stromer von Reichenbach in
1931
and refers to the animals to the animal's shark-like teeth
(von Reichenbach considered the teeth to resemble those of Carcharodon, the Genus
of sharks which includes the modern Great White Shark, and the extinct giant shark,
Megalodon).
Unfortunately, all earliest found fossils
of Carcharodontosaurus were destroyed during World War II - however, fortunately, new
fossils have subsequently been
found in Morocco (1995)
and Niger (1997).

Features:- Suchomimus was a theropod dinosaur that lived in the Lower Cretaceous (about 120 million years ago) in what is now Niger, Africa. ‘Suchomimus’ literally means ‘crocodile mimic’.
- Like many theropods, Suchomimus was large, at least 30 feet long. In contrast to most theropods, the skull of Suchomimus was extremely thin and had a low profile.
- Its jaws were long and slender, and contained a total of about 120 conical teeth that did not resemble the blade-like teeth of most theropods.
