Description

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus: The river dragon needs no introduction.
Based on the epic skeletal by :iconfranoys:

''Osteoporosia gigantea'': Originally thought to be a 15-meter-long megaraptoran, Mortimer later identified it as a carcharodontosaur, and its only preserved element, a posterior dorsal vertebra, is not remarkable in size compared to those of Aerosteon. Maximum estimate derived from scaling by Aerosteon's 11th dorsal, minimum derived from scaling by the 14th.
Based, of course, on the megaraptoran composite by :iconpwnz3r-dragon:.

Carcharodontosaurus saharicus: See Spinosaurus above.

''Sauroniops pachytholus''
: Based on extremely scant material (a small frontal), yet somehow the authors thought it would be a good idea to place it not only in a different genus, but a different subfamily to other local carcharodontosaurids. Yeah, makes sense.
Scaled via comparisons with Acrocanthosaurus, by :iconveterufreak:.

Megaraptora indet.: A few large limb bones from the area were tentatively assigned to Bahariasaurus way back then, but the holotype of the latter lacks any limb material, so we can't compare them properly. They seem rather megaraptoran-like, though, as noted by Cau and Larramendi, so the animal was reconstructed based on Chilantaisaurus by :iconfranoys:.

Abelisauridae indet.:
Recently described, this abelisaur is said to be similar in dimensions to Ekrixinatosaurus, and the size of the femur seems to agree, so it was scaled to the size estimated for the latter in Grillo & Delcourt's recent paper about allometry and body size of abelisaurids.

Guest appearance by the largest known (scientifically measured) modern-day hippo, Hippopotamus amphibius.

What about that big 15 cm Abelisaur dorsal?
