Carcharodontosaurus saharicus
Theropod
Early Cretaceous
Tegana Formation
Taouz, Morocco

86mm fully rooted tooth (29mm crown).

Paleontologists say it’s possible that the teeth of Carcharodontosaurus sawed through bone like those of Allosaurus.  With a powerful neck and the same serrated teeth as Allosaurus, it seems likely that it exhibited the same behavior.

Carcharodontosaurus includes some of the longest and heaviest known carnivorous dinosaurs.  Various scientists have proposed length estimates for C. saharicus in the 12 and 13.3 m (39 and 44 ft) range and weight estimates in the 6.2 and 15.1 metric ton range.
