Carnotaurus Dinosaur

Carnotaurus mean's 'carnivorous bull'.it was discovered by Bonapare in 1985. there are 3 classification of Carnotaurus Saurischia, Theropoda and Abelisauridae. There remains from South America.

They have 7.5 metres length, 3 metres height and 1 tonne weight of dimensions. The food was carnivore.

Canotaurus was a large biped predator. The head was strong and imposing, with the teeth serrated like butcher's knives. The most distinctive features of this dinosaur were the two protuberances on its skull, like flat horns emerging above the ayes and its very short nose. Its arms were also unusual, very small in relation to the body, with a well-developed humerus but an extremely small radius and ulna.

There were four digits on the hand, one of which, unusually, turned inwards. Scientists have not yet established what purpose the very small arms serve, with the digits arranged in this unusual mannner.

The only remains of Carnotaurus were found in the prairies of Patagonia in Argentina in 1985. The palaeontologists were lucky enough also to find strips of fossilised skin, so they could form a more accurate idea of the external appearance of this creature. From the neck to the tail the skin had rows of small conical protuberances, while on the head were smaller little humps from which ran rows of large protuberant scale, covering the area round the eyes and the upper part of the nose.

Carcharodontosaurus Dinosaur

The name means 'lizard with shark's teeth' because the teeth of Carcharodontosaurus recall those of Carcharodon, the elastmobranch genus to which the great white sharks belongs.

It discovered by Stromer in 1931 and found in North Africa. There are 3 classification Saurischia, Theropoda, Carcharodontosauridae.

It has 14 meters length, 4 metres height and 8 tonnes weight of dimensions. There food was carnivore and carrior eater.

According to reconstruction by paleontologists, Carcharodontosaurus was one of the largest carnivores ever to exist. Its body nonetheless looked elegant and slender, with a long tail, a strong neck , powerful hind limps, well-developed front limps and hands with three digits and sharps claws. The head was particularly impressive for its size of a human and for its dozen of very sharp teeth, up to 12 centimeters long.

Carcharodontosaurus came into the limelight in 1995 when the palaeontologist Paul Sereno and his team, working deep in the desert, discovered the remains of a new specimen a complete half-skull, some vertebrae, parts of the limps and the pelvis. It was a sensational discovery in that the head alone was almost 1 metre 70 centimetre long. This rivalled the skull of the largest Tyrannosaurus rex ever found.
