Carcharodontosaurus is a genus of large theropod dinosaur that existed during the Cenomanian age of the Late Cretaceous in Northern Africa. It was one of the largest Carcharadontosaurids, rivalling Tyrannotitan and Sauroniops in size, and being slightly smaller than Giganotosaurus, and grew to be about 12 meters long, about 3.5 meters tall at the hips, and around 7 tonnes in weight. Its arms were somewhat short, but still longer than T. rex's and were quite strong, and had three claws on each hand. It had a large head with over 60, 20 cm (8 inch), blade-like teeth, which were designed to pierce and tear apart the flesh of its prey, which may have consisted of dinosaurs such as young sauropods and ornithopods.

Please be aware of the nature of fossils:

Being buried under the ground for millions of years under tons of pressure tends to be rough. No fossil comes out of the ground whole and perfect. Most fossils have undergone some restoration, while others are altered by man simply to enhance their presentation in different ways. The workers in Morocco do a very professional job of unearthing and preserving these natural treasures. These are part of the natural beauty of the fossil and are not considered defects.
