Maybe Giganotosaurus argentinus... or Giganotosaurus argentinae.

<<Hello all,

There is a rumor going on around one of the message boards that I frequent
saying that the new giant carcharodontosaurine specimens from Argentina will
be called "Giganotosaurus argentine".  Has anyone else heard of this?
The guy who posted the news claims to have read it in a little snippet from
a magazine called "The Modern Digger" (or something to that effect, he
says).

may be 'argentinensis' i think....

'argentine' sounds a bit strange..

...or "argentinae", as a genetive "Argentina's". Lacks fantasy, though, as *G. carolinii* is from Argentina, too.
