Carcharodontosaurus - Carcharodontosaurus Saharicus
Carcharodontosaurus /ˌkɑːrkəroʊˌdɒntoʊˈsɔːrəs/ is a genus of large carcharodontosaurid theropod dinosaur that existed during the Cenomanian stage of the mid-Cretaceous Period in Northern Africa. It is currently known to include two species: C. saharicus and C. iguidensis, which are among the largest theropods, nearly as large as or even larger than Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus, and Spinosaurus. Carcharodontosaurus includes some of the longest and heaviest known carnivorous dinosaurs, with various scientists proposing length estimates for the species C. saharicus ranging between 12 and 13.3 meters (39 and 44 ft) and weight estimates between 6.2 to 15.1 metric tons (6.8 to 16.6 short tons). In 2016 Molina-Pérez & Larramendi gave a length of 12.8 meters (42 ft) and a weight of 7.8 metric tons (8.6 short tons) for the neotype of C. saharicus, and a length of 11 meters (36 ft) and a weight of 5.2 metric tons (5.7 short tons) for a referred tooth of C. iguidensis.
Shantungosaurus - Shantungosaurus Giganteus
Shantungosaurus is a genus of very large saurolophine hadrosaurid dinosaur found in the Late Cretaceous Wangshi Group of the Shandong Peninsula in China, containing a single species, Shantungosaurus giganteus. Shantungosaurus giganteus is one of the largest known ornithischians. The type skull is 1.63 metres (5.3 ft) long,[1] and the composite skeleton mounted at the Geological Institute of China in Beijing measures 14.7 metres (48 ft) in length. Another mounted skeleton, originally referred to as Zhuchengosaurus maximus, measures 16.6 metres (54 ft) in length. The largest individuals may have weighed as much as 16 tonnes (18 short tons). Like all hadrosaurs its beak was toothless, but its jaws were packed with around 1,500 tiny chewing teeth. A large hole near its nostrils may have been covered by a loose flap of skin, which could be inflated to make sounds.
