This extinct genus represents a large carcharodontosaurid theropod that roamed what is now Argentina during the Late Cretaceous period. Fossil evidence primarily consists of skeletal elements discovered in a bone bed, suggesting these massive predators may have lived in groups. The name itself translates to “Earth Lizard.”
The significance of this discovery lies in its contribution to understanding the paleobiogeography of Gondwana and the evolution of giant theropods. Studying the skeletal morphology provides insights into the size, hunting strategies, and potential social behavior of these apex predators. The bone bed discovery offers a unique opportunity to analyze population dynamics and potential causes of death.
