Summary:
- This article discusses the discovery of a new species of dinosaur called Meraxes gigas, which was a massive carnivorous dinosaur that lived in what is now Argentina during the Late Cretaceous period, around 80 million years ago.
- Meraxes gigas was a member of the carcharodontosaurid group of dinosaurs, which were some of the largest predators of their time, with a skull that measured over 1 meter long.
- The discovery of this new dinosaur species provides important insights into the evolution and diversity of large carnivorous dinosaurs during the Late Cretaceous period, and helps to fill in gaps in our understanding of the prehistoric ecosystem.
