Carcharodontosaurinae

† Carcharodontosaurinae was a subfamily of the giant predatory theropod family Carcharodontosauridae, grouping the largest and most derived members of the lineage including Carcharodontosaurus and Giganotosaurus.

The subfamily's members were among the dominant predators in Gondwanan and Laurasian ecosystems duri
