Mapusaurus: big theropoda dinosaurs, 10,20 meters long, maximum size estimated at 12,60 meters. Weight: 3 tons. From the Late Cretaceous of Argentina and Chile.
Based on the excellent documentary "Planet dinosaur"... Mapusaurus hunted the giant sauropods Argentinosaurus. 
@"DinoFan56" :
About #32: yes you're right. By reading again the wikipedia description, it is indeed added: Holtz estimated the maximum size of the animal at 12.6 metres (41 ft).[2] This estimate has been cited in Drew Eddy and Julia Clarke (2011),[3] and cited again in a phylogenetic table in a 2014 analysis by Canale et al.[4] Other authors suggested that it measured 12.7 metres (42 ft) long and 7.6 metric tons (8.4 short tons) in weight. Indeed I thought it was weird to imagine a predator able to hunt some of the biggest sauropods actually known (Argentinosaurus), weighing only 3 tons...
Because the ceratopsid showed here would be rather a styracosaurus, I believe the carnivors dinosaur surrounding are daspletosaurus or albertosaurus. But that's a nice depiction !
Nice depiction of velociraptor, yes the same beast as the one we saw at the Spielberg movies... For sure, velociraptor is almost a bird here !
In order to inform: velociraptor was a small dinosaur predator: 1,50 to 2 meters long, 0m75 height, weight between 15 and 20 kilogramms. In fact in the "Jurassique Park" movie franchise, we were faced with deinonychus and not with velociraptor. The dimensions tally with the deinonychus' ones.
Utahraptor: the big raptor from the UTah. Existed 125 millions years ago. 5-7 meters long, 1m80 height, 500 kilos. Here the "feathered" version:
And here, the "reptilian" version, this one from the famous documentary "Walking with dinosaurs" by the BBC.  *This image is copyright of its original author
No one size indication or clue ... It could be a feathered velociraptor, a feathered deinonychus, a feathered utahraptor, or any feathered coelurosauridae...
A very very good depiction of a no-named predator dinosaur anatomically spaking. Nevertheless I would say it's an Acrocanthosaurus (see at #6 of this topic for more details).
Baryonyx: spinosauridae, 9m long, 2 tons. Lived in Europa, Spain, England where it was at first discovered. Enjoyed a big claw for the thumb. Ate fishs...
About Mapusaurus roseae, it was no larger than Giganotosaurus carolinii, so no such thing as "larger than 13 meters", and just close to 7 tons.
Check this reconstruction from "franoys" of DevianArt, an expert in reconstructions:  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author These animals were long but relatively light in its composition. That is why even the hypotetical Giga of over 13 meter was just close to the 8 tons and not more.
About the size of Giganotosaurus carolinii, information from "franoys":
 *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Well, that is the information about the holotype, the only that is more or less complete. Now here is the conclutions about the fragment of mandible (the second specimen) that was escalated at 13.2 m, but that now there are serious dobts about its size:  *This image is copyright of its original author Hope this helps to clarify the situation ones for all.
