Summary
| Description |
English: This is a Paleoart reconstruction of the Carcharodontosaurid Theropod Dinosaur Meraxes gigas, which lived in the Late Cretaceous time period in the Huincul Formation of Argentina. It belonged to the tribe Giganotosaurini, in which it diverged early on. Based on proportional similarity to the Acrocanthosaurus, it has been estimated that Meraxes might have reached up to 11 metres in length. The paper describing Meraxes gigas came out in July 2022. The age of the holotype has been estimated to be around 52 years, implying that Carcharodontosaurids lived to a relatively old age among non avian Dinosaurs. |
