Mapusaurus/Giganotosaurus and Argentinosaurus Monday

Hey there how's your Monday going still got your Sunday shoes on. Well Dino Lord gonna change that with Mapusaurus, Giganotosaurus and Argentinosaurus Monday. Three dinosaurs in one day, best way to start off your week. 

Closely related to the massive Giganotosaurus. Mapusaurus is in a group of dinosaurs called carcharadontosauridae, a group of massive predators that can rival and even exceed the famous Tyrannosaurs Rex in size. Mapusaurus teeth are very much alike to that of it's relative Giganotosaurus. They were flat and curved with a serrated edge,perfect for slicing through flesh. This 10 meter carnivore could have preyed the great Argentinosaurus and lived in the cenomanian of the cretaceous period.

Like Mapusaurus Giganotosaurus was much bigger than the Tyrannosaurs. How this dinosaur got so big has not been solved, it also is in the same dinosaur group of that of Mapusaurus. The fenestrae are proportionately large in the skull of Giganotosaurus , but inside the skull there are unusual areas and attachment for powerful biting muscles but also for a potentially well-developed olfactory region, indicating a good sense of smell. The teeth of Giganotosaurus were flat and curved and were with an serrated edge perfect for slicing flesh of it's prey. Giganotosaurus is between 12 and 13 meters long and lived in the cenomanian of the cretaceous period like Mapusaurus.

     

Argentinosaurus was one  the largest sauropod and dinosaur to have ever lived. But only a few parts of the skeleton have been found and have been closely been match to the titanosaurs like Saltasaurus and Rapetosaurus. This herbivore was estimated to 22-35 meters long, but there is an incomplete material that make the real sized very difficult. One dinosaur that may have been more lager than Argentinosaurus was Amphicoelias. Like Mapusaurus and Giganotosaurs it also lived in the cenomanian of the cretaceous and all three of them lived in Argentina so they have cross paths.
