New Carcharodontosaurine Maxilla

["Waylon Rowley" <hot__male60@hotmail.com>]

I found a picture of the maxilla of Currie and Coria's new 
carcharodontosaurine at:

Notice that the dorsal and ventral borders kinda blend into eachother 
posteriorly as in Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, while in Giganotosaurus 
they are subparallel in this region. There appears to be a small triangular 
maxillary fenestra there too. Maybe this new animal is a closer relative to 
the african theropod? Be sure to browse around that site, there are pics of 
various other elements (including a comparison of tibiae from the new carch 
with G. carolinii).
