Giganotosaurus

Giganotosaurus was a massive meat-eating dinosaur that roamed Argentina around 99 to 95 million years ago. Its name means 'giant southern lizard,' and it was one of the biggest predators of its time. Scientists first uncovered its nearly complete skeleton in Patagonia in 1993.

• Its fossils were found in the Candeleros Formation in Patagonia.
• The dinosaur was named after its discoverer, Ruben Carolini.
• A single tooth and jawbone were later linked to this species.
