The biggest carnivorous dinosaurs lived during the Cretaceous period:
Giganotosaurus carolinii - found in Patagonia, Argentina. 47 feet long (14 m), 8 tons in weight, and 12 feet tall (4 m).
Tyrannosaurus rex - found in North America - 40-50 feet long (12-15 m), 6 tons in weight.
Spinosaurus - found in Africa - 40-50 feet long (12-15 m).
Carcharodontosaurus saharicus - (meaning shark-toothed lizard) found in in Morocco, Africa, by Paul Sereno. It was probably about 45 feet long and had 5 inch long teeth. Its skull (5 feet 4 inches) is larger than T. rex's, but it had a tiny brain cavity (half the size of T. rex's).

It was discovered in July, 1993, by Rubén Darío Carolini, present Director of the Villa El Chocón Municipal Museum, in a former lagoon located 18 km to the South of Villa El Chocón.
80% of the fossil material of this specimen has been rescued and is preserved in optimum condition. This carnivore, with reduced fore limbs, biped gait and with three toes in each leg, would measure 13.5 m of length and its hip could reach 4.6 m. It is estimated that it would weigh 9,500 kg when it was alive. Its head would measure 2 m and its longest tooth, 21 cm.

Giganotosaurus become additionally incredibly extra beneficial than rex, albeit possibly no longer as powerfully armed or muscled. another hteropods--Mapusaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus etc--have been variety of such as T. rex in length.
