- AND HERE IT IS! It was really hard to not tell everyone because I knew for more than 2 years now. Please welcome Tameryraptor, a new name for Stromers carcharodontosaurid. Based on Stromers descriptions, drawings and newly found photographs the authors conclude... #paleoart #sciart #scicomm
- So, that's the actual Carcharodontosaurus, and Sereno's animal is a Giganotosaurin by definition... Ah, what a mess that neotype was, and that's before going over iguidensis not clading with Sereno's animal.
- Stromer's specimen was never the holotype. And Sereno's specimen matches the original holotype (teeth, now lost). So Sereno's Carcharodontosaurus saharicus neotype is still valid. Stromer's specimen is a different carcharodontosaurid. Spino is more of a mess though.Jan 14, 2025 20:29
