I want to tell how the dinosaurs really died. 2601:2C5:280:F010:1877:DEFB:4D47:2F55 (talk) 19:50, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
The fossils described by Stromer were destroyed in 1944 during World War II I imagine a bomb dropping on a remote location, which seems far-fetched. The Article would be improved if some additional details could be added. Leaving them out makes it more of a stumbling block and reduces readability.107.195.106.201 (talk) 03:39, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Greetings once more. Since no-one else has yet, I'll do this GAN review. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 21:55, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
This individual was around 15% smaller than the neotype,[41] the latter has been estimated to be.."which was estimated to be..."

C. iguidensis was much smaller,And move this sentence to after the next one, so the sentences about C. saharicus being big are all by each other.as it only reachedonly reaching 10 metres (33 ft) in length and 4 metric tons (4.4 short tons) in body mass.
Skulls of carcharodontosaurids tend to be more lithe and lightly built than those of later tyrannosaurids,...Lithe? That's not exactly the word I would use here. Slender might be a better choice. (In my experience, lithe tends to be reserved for living things)
The neotype cranium tapers anteriorly in lateral view creating a triangular outline in this perspective.Is there a way you can phrase this without using anteriorly and lateral? "The neotype cranium tapes towards the front when viewed from the side, creating a triangular outline."
The maxilla of IPHG 1922 X46 would have been 70 centimetres (28 in) long when preserved"before its destruction", correct?
Its jugals are the widest part of the skull and broad and triangle-shaped.What?
The lower jaw articulation was placed more posteriorly behind the occipital condyle..."farther back behind the occipital condyle", assuming that is accurate.
Two dentary (lower jaw bone) fragments which were referred to C. saharicus by Ibrahim et al (2020)and what does deep morphology mean? Deep tooth roots?whichpossess a deep morphology...
The teeth are the namesake of the genus, the name is apropos to the large serrations akin to those of the shark Carcharodon.You've said this elsewhere, and I don't think it needs repeating in the Description section.
Dentition of carcharodontosaurs are some of the longest of any dinosaur group..."Carcharodontosaur teeth are..."
However, dentition towards the back of the jaws became recurved and less straight than those in the maxilla."became recurved and less straight" sounds like tautology. And is it getting more curved the further back it is in the mouth?
Thisand could you choose a different phrase than "poorly constructed"?evincesindicates that the crania of giant taxa (ex. Carcharodontosaurus) were poorly constructed due to...
This is much lower than that of Tyrannosaurus, implying that it lacked an osteophagus diet."implying that it did not eat bones."
There goes my initial look. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 01:12, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
