Eocarcharia: Description, Classification & Paleoecology

Eocarcharia (lit. 'dawn shark') is an extinct genus of theropod dinosaurs found in what is now the western Ténéré Desert of Niger. It is known from several skull bones collected in 2000 by an expedition to the Early Cretaceous (Aptian–Albian ages) Elrhaz Formation (Gadoufaoua locality) led by American paleontologist Paul Sereno. The fossil material was…
