Carcharodontosauruses were known to bite each other in the head and to have bedeviled North America, Europe and Africa. Now the discovery of carcharodontosaurus fossils in Thailand, and a relatively primitive sort at that, suggests that this mega-predator with gigantic serrated fangs may have arisen in Europe – and Southeast Asia. Siam means Thailand, raptor means robber and suwati is for Suwat Liptapanlop, a donor to paleontological research. In North America carcharodontosaurus and T-rex did coexist, Cholchaloemwong confirms – but in any case it seems the Carcharodontosaurus came first. All these species - Carcharodontosauruses, allosaurs, tyrannosaurs and giganotosaurs could eat you in a single bite and spit out your shoes.
