Giganotosaurus was one of the largest known terrestrial carnivores, but the exact size has been hard to determine due to the incompleteness of the remains found so far. Estimates for the most complete specimen range from a length of 12 to 13 m (39 to 43 ft), a skull 1.53 to 1.80 m (5.0 to 5.9 ft) in length, and a weight of 4.2 to 13.8 t (4.6 to ...
The pelvis was incomplete, containing both pubes and the left ischium. The ischium is uniquely pointed almost directly horizontally. The ischium is uniquely pointed almost directly horizontally. The pubes were likely nearly 1 metre (3.3 ft) when fully preserved, with thin shafts that were transversely expanded at the anterior ends where they ...
ischium The ischium (plural: ischia) is one of three bones comprising the pelvis, and located below the ilium and behind the pubis. It is a rod-like element with an expanded shelf at its proximal end, the obturator plate, that makes contact with the ilium and pubis (a corresponding obturator plate is also found in the pubis). As the pubis, the ...
The animatronic Giganotosaurus from "Jurassic World: Dominion" was the largest practical head built for any "Jurassic Park" film. The practical and digital effects teams worked hand in hand to ...
Tyrannotitan is considered a close relative of other giant carcharodontosaurids from Gondwana, such as Carcharodontosaurus, but it shares an especially close relationship with the South American carcharodontosaurids Giganotosaurus and Mapusaurus. Tyrannotitan is known from a few specimens, however none of them are very complete.
The specimen consists of five dorsal vertebrae, eight caudal vertebrae, a chevron, a partial right ilium, ischium, fibula, tibia, and several right and left pedal phalanges. The specimen was discovered by Lindsay Zanno as a part of a 2008 Field Museum expedition with Peter Makovicky.
A close relative of C. saharicus, Giganotosaurus, was added to the family when it was described in 1995. Additionally, many paleontologists have included Acrocanthosaurus in this family (Sereno et al. 1996, Harris 1998, Holtz 2000, Rauhut 2003, Eddy & Clarke, 2011, Rauhut 2011), though others place it in the related family Allosauridae (Currie ...
Mirischia was a small bipedal predator. Its length was in 2004 estimated at 2.1 metres. [2] In 2010 Gregory S. Paul estimated the weight at seven kilogrammes. [3] The holotype of Mirischia is notable for having asymmetrical ischia.
