Paul Sereno's new spectacular discovery from the
Cretaceous formations of the' Moroccan Sahara, was hailed as one of the biggest
meat-eating dinosaur ever found (only Giganotosaurus is bigger). The skull is
about 5 cm. longer than T. rex and it has a very peculiar'beak' elongated shape.
Up until now, this dinosaur was only known for its teeth, generously scattered
all over the Sahara desert.
The teeth and skull
don't seem as powerfully constructed as T. rex's but the teeth are excellent,
double serrated steak knives.
Aegyptosaurus was probably
one of its contemporary, favourite meals. it is a Titanosaur and as the evidence
shows from the remains from these sauropods, it had a boxed skull, not a very
long neck and probably had a bony armour over its back. It probably grew to
massive proportions, just like Argentinosaurus.
