Eocarcharia
Haste, Vigilance
Eocarcharia (meaning "dawn shark") is a genus of
carcharodontosaurid theropod dinosaur from what today is the
country of Niger. It was discovered in 2000 on an expedition led by
University of Chicago paleontologist Paul Sereno. The type and only
species is Eocarcharia dinops. Eocarcharia’s brow is swollen into a
massive band of bone, giving it a menacing glare. (Hence the
specific name dinops or "fierce-eyed").
