Carcharodontosaurus were more primitive than the T. Rex and were a terror in the dinosaur world as a result of their size. They were possibly slightly larger than Giganotosaurus, however not quite as large as Spinosaurus. In this case Carcharodontosaurus includes some of the longest and heaviest known carnivorous dinosaurs. Scientists estimate a length estimates to be between 39ft and 43ft and also estimate the weight between 6 and 15 metric tons. . The dinosaur fossil material is getting harder to get from Morocco as the government is working on regulations that could prohibit further export.. get them while you can!
