Megaraptora is a clade of carnivorous theropod dinosaurs with controversial relationships to other tetanuran theropods. Its derived members, the Megaraptoridae are noted for their large hand claws and powerfully-built forelimbs, which are usually reduced in size in other large theropods. Megaraptorans are incompletely known, and no complete ...
Maip is a genus of large megaraptorid theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Chorrillo Formation of Santa Cruz, Argentina. The genus contains a single species, M. macrothorax, known from an incomplete, disarticulated skeleton. Maip may represent the largest megaraptorid known from South America, and possibly the world.
Claw cast with a ruler for scale Size of two specimens compared to a human Megaraptor head reconstruction based on the juvenile skull. Megaraptor was initially described as a giant 8 metres (26 ft) long coelurosaur, known primarily from a single claw (about 30 cm long) that resembled the sickle-shaped foot claw of dromaeosaurids.

Binomial name. †Australovenator wintonensis. Hocknull et al. 2009. Australovenator (meaning "southern hunter") is a genus of megaraptoran theropod dinosaur from Cenomanian (Late Cretaceous)-age Winton Formation (dated to 95 million years ago [1]) of Australia. Some specimens from the Albian -aged Eumeralla Formation may belong to Australovenator.
Type species. †Fukuiraptor kitadaniensis. Azuma & Currie, 2000. Fukuiraptor ("thief of Fukui ") was a medium-sized megaraptoran theropod dinosaur of the Early Cretaceous epoch (either Barremian or Aptian) that lived in what is now Japan. [1] Fukuiraptor is known from the Kitadani Formation [2] and possibly also the Sebayashi Formation.
Size compared to a human. Concavenator was a medium-sized carcharodontosaurid, reaching 5–6 m (16–20 ft) long and 320–400 kg (710–880 lb). [6] [7] [8] It possessed several unique features, including the two extremely tall vertebrae in front of the hips that formed a tall, narrow, pointed crest (possibly supporting a hump) on the dinosaur's back.
