Carcharodontosaurus skull / size?

Carcharodontosaurus is a genus of carnivorous carcharodontosaurid dinosaurs that existed during the Cenomanian stage of the mid-Cretaceous Period. It is currently known to include two species: C. saharicus and C. iguidensis, which were among the larger theropods, nearly as large as or even larger than Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus.

Carcharodontosaurus includes some of the longest and heaviest known carnivorous dinosaurs, with various scientists proposing length estimates for the species C. saharicus ranging between 12 and 13.3 m (39 and 44 ft) and weight estimates between 6.2 and 15.1 metric tons. In 2016 Molina-Pérez & Larramendi gave a length of 12.8 metres and a weight of 7.8 tonnes for C. saharicus, and a length of 11 metres and a weight of 5.2 tonnes for C. iguidensis.

Carcharodontosaurus were carnivores, with enormous jaws and long, serrated teeth up to eight inches long. A skull length of about 1.53—1.6 meters (5.0—5.2 ft) has been restored for C. saharicus, and the skull of C. iguidensis is reported to have been about the same size.
