Sereno's babies



The CNN story can be found at:

http://cnn.com/TECH/9605/17/dinosaurs/index.html

on the web.  This includes a reasonable shot of the big guy, which the
article identifies as Charcarodontosaurus.  Looks heavily
reconstructed.  Features:

Invasion of postorbital bone into the orbit (orbit shaped like
   Giganotosaurus)
Rostro-caudally elongate enlarged external naris
Rostro-dorsal inclination of quadratojugal-squamosal articulation(?)
Scalpel-shaped maxillary tooth row.

Boy does it look Carnosaur!
