Comía: CarneDinos carnívorosCretáceo Inferior

Eocarcharia was a fierce meat-eating dinosaur that lived about 110 million years ago. It had blade-shaped teeth and a thick bony eyebrow above its eyes, which made it look very scary. This predator was one of the early giant hunters of its time.21

Datos curiosos

1

Eocarcharia belongs to a group called carcharodontosaurids, which means 'shark-toothed lizards' because of their sharp, serrated teeth.1

2

Its name comes from Greek words meaning 'dawn shark', because it was an early member of the shark-toothed dinosaur family.1

3

The dinosaur had a thick, bumpy bony ridge above its eyes, which scientists call a 'brow boss'. This might have been used for display or fighting.1

4

Eocarcharia lived alongside other dinosaurs like the spinosaurid Suchomimus and the abelisaurid Kryptops in what is now the Sahara Desert.1

5

Its fossils were found in the Elrhaz Formation of Niger, which was once a river environment with many different animals.1

6

Scientists think Eocarcharia was about 7.6 metres (25 feet) long and stood about 1.8 metres (6 feet) tall at the hips.2

7

Eocarcharia is one of the oldest known carcharodontosaurids, along with relatives like Acrocanthosaurus from North America.1

Descubrimento
Eocarcharia was named by paleontologists Paul Sereno and Stephen Brusatte in 2008. They found its skull bones and teeth in the Ténéré Desert of Niger, Africa.31
Aínda en debate
Scientists are not sure exactly how big Eocarcharia grew, because only skull bones and teeth have been found so far.1
