Carcharodontosaurus i s a genus of carnivorous carcharodontosaurid dinosaurs that existed between 100 and 94 million years ago, during the Cenomanian stages of the mid-Cretaceous Period. It is currently known to include two species, C.saharicus and C.iguidensis , which were among the larger theropods, slightly bigger than Tyrannosaurus and possibly slightly larger than Giganotosaurus , but not quite as large as Spinosaurus .
The genus Carcharodontosaurus is named after the shark genus Carcharodon (itself named from the Greek καρχαρο (karcharo ) meaning "jagged" or "sharp" and οδοντο (odonto ) meaning "teeth")), and σαυρος (sauros ), meaning "lizard".
Carcharodontosaurus had enormous jaws and long, serrated teeth up to eight inches long. Gregory S. Paul estimates Carcharodontosaurus iguidensis at 10 m (33 ft) and 4 t (4.4 short tons).
(This is not a T-Rex tooth, but it is often referred to as African T-Rex)
