Meraxes - The Sickle-Clawed Carcharodontosaur

Large, imposing and dominant, Carcharodontosaurids dominated Southern hemisphere environments throughout the early through mid cretaceous, although much about them is little known, both due to their general tendency to be fragmentary, with some exceptions here and there, or poor descriptions cough cough Giganotosaurus. Therefore, finding more of their remains is key in understanding more about them, and thankfully, that has been the case with a new description of a new taxon hailing from the Huincul Formation of Argentina. I hope you enjoy.
