Don't be afraid, he's not as sinister as he seems!

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while here!

I usually post on my insta, so I kinda forgot I had this account, be sure to follow me there if you want like weekly stuff.

Heres another Carcharodontosaurid (or at least some of the material is) to add to the collection!

A dinosaur claw of an indeterminate spinosaurid, likely Suchomimus tenerensis from the Elrhaz Formation in Gadoufaoua, Niger. Baryonychine spinosaurids like Suchomimus and Baryonyx are known for their robust hand claws in contrast to the more narrow morphology seen in derived spinosaurines like Spinosaurus.

Happy Dinosaur Day: Eocarcharia is a genus of carcharodontosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in what is now North Africa during the Aptian and Albian stages of the early cretaceous period some 125 to 112 mya. The holotype specimen of eocarcharia consisting of a partial skull was uncovered in the year 2000 during an expedition to the Elrhaz formation led by University of Chicago paleontologist Paul Sereno. These remains where found alongside the remains of an abelisaurid named Kryptops. Yet in wouldn’t be until 2008 that the animal would be formally named and described by Dr. Sereno and Dr. Brusatte. Since then some additional post cranial remains have been recovered/ reassigned from other genuses. The type and only species is Eocarcharia dinops which roughly translates to dawn shark with fierce eyes, with the specific name being in reference to the fact that Eocarcharia’s brow is swollen into a massive band of bone, giving it a menacing glare. Reaching roughly 19 to 26ft (6-8m) in length and 2,200 to 4,400lbs (1,000 to 2,000kgs) in weight, Eocarcharia would have been one of the largest predators of its environment. Likely using its sharp blade like teeth to dispatch various prey in the form of the sauropods, ornithopods, crocodiliomorphs, and smaller theropods it shared its environment with.

A dinosaur tooth of an indeterminate carcharodontosaurid, possibly Eocarcharia dinops from the Elrhaz Formation in Gadoufaoua, Niger. The size and basal morphology of the tooth would suggest a large carcharodontosaurid similar to that of Acrocanthosaurus than what is currently known from the dentition of Eocarcharia. However, there is little known about the full dentition of this species, and most phylogenetic placements classify it as a basal or early diverging carcharodontosaurid.
