saharicus' brain was very similar to that of Allosaurus. With the midbrain, the hindbrain would have formed a 40° angle. The hindbrain is nearly identical to the forebrain. The midbrain is angled downwards, at 45° towards the animals rear. In 2001, the inner ear and endocranium of Carcharodontosaurus were described. Currently, Carcharodontosaurus' skull is the second largest carcharodontosaurus skull, only dethroned by Giganotosaurus. iguidensis, was about 1.53-1.6 meters (5-5.2 feet) long. Carcharodontosaurus' jaws are large and long, fitted with many serrated teeth that could reach lengths of eight inches. Only when the location was searched later, a partial skull was recovered and described. Carcharodontosaurus was originally known from several shark-like dinosaur teeth. However, the animals size us greatly disputed, and some estimates place it larger, or smaller than other theropods. Ĭarcharodontosaurus may have been larger than Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus and Giganotosaurus. The teeth matched Depéret and Savornin's taxon, which led Stromer to move it into a new genus with the same species Carcharodontosaurus sahricus because he saw the teeth resembled those from Carcharodon. A partial skull, teeth, vertebrae, claws, hip and leg bones were all unearthed in 1914. Years later, Ernst Stromer described partial cranial and postcranial remains from the Cenomanian Bahariya Formation of Egypt in 1931. The they were described by Depéret and Savornin 1925, naming Megalosaurus saharicus because they were distinct, later transferring it under the subgenus of Dryptosaurus. Two teeth were found in 1924 in the Continental Intercalaire, Algeria.
