Yangchuanosaurus is
an extinct genus of metriacanthosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived
in China during the late Oxfordian (and possibly Kimmeridgian) stage of
the Late Jurassic, and was similar in size and appearance to its North
American contemporary,Allosaurus. It hails from the Upper Shaximiao
Formation and was the largest predator in a landscape which included
the sauropodsMamenchisaurus and Omeisaurus as well as
the Stegosaurs Chialingosaurus, Tuojiangosaurus and Chungkingosaurus. It
got its name after its discovery site in Yongchuan, in China. This is the
second evolution.
Carcharodontosaurus is a genus
of carnivorous carcharodontosaurid dinosaurs that existed between 100 and
94 million years ago, during the Cenomanian stages of the midCretaceous Period. It is currently known to include two
species,C.saharicus and C.iguidensis, which were among the
larger theropods, as large as or slightly bigger than Tyrannosaurus and
possibly slightly larger than Giganotosaurus, but not quite as large
as Spinosaurus. This is the eighth evolution.
