		Giganotosaurus carolinii was named for Ruben Carolini, an amateur fossil hunter, who discovered the fossils in the deposits of the Rio Limay Formation of Patagonia, southern Argentina, in 1993.
		Both Giganotosaurus and Mapusaurus have been placed in their own subfamily Giganotosaurinae by Coria and Currie in 2006 as more Carcharodontosaurid dinosaurs are found and described, allowing interrelationships to be calculated.
		Giganotosaurus is also featured in the IMAX movie Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia where Dr. Rodolfo Coria shows the sites of major discoveries in Argentina.

	Biggest Theropod Found -ZoomDinosaurs.com
		Giganotosaurus was a theropod from the mid-Cretaceous period, living about 100-95 million years ago, toward the end of the Mesozoic Era, the "Age of Reptiles".
		Giganotosaurus was probably bigger than Tyrannosaurus rex, who was about 40 feet long, about 5 tons in weight and about 10 feet tall at the hips.
		Giganotosaurus lived about 30 million years before Tyrannosaurus rex, which was among the last of the dinosaur species alive before the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction 65 million years ago.

		Giganotosaurus, found in the same vicinity in 1993, grew more than 45 feet (14 meters) long and weighed more than eight tons.
		Giganotosaurus ruled over South America for millions of years, and scientists suspect it was the reason the slightly smaller T-Rex did not stray south.
		A favorite meal for the Giganotosaurus was probably the 100-ton, plant-eating Argentinosaurus, which was also uncovered in the vast dusty wastes of southern Argentina and is the largest dinosaur of any type ever found.

	Giganotosaurus - Definition, explanation
		Giganotosaurus (jig-a-NOT-o-SAWR-us, meaning Giant southern lizard) is a dinosaur from the late Cretaceous, often considered the largest known terrestrial carnivore.
		While the brain of the Giganotosaurus was only the size of a banana, a well-developed olfactory region indicate it may have a good sense of smell.
		The genus name "Giganotosaurus" is derived from the Greek gigas ("giant"), notos ("south wind") and sauros ("lizard").

	Time Travelling Giganotosaurus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Erroneously stated at 207 percent "heavier and more massively built", a Giganotosaurus has mysteriously transcended both space and time by the means of some strange and rare subspace temporal anomaly.
		Sadly, Giganotosaurus is badly outclassed and a couple of millions years behind in the sudden rash of events.
		Caught off guard by a surprisingly powerful 13,400 N+ bite and gigantic bone-and-meat rending bananna teeth against which the own smaller blade-like slicers lining his oversized jaw are pitifully inadequate, the nutcracker jaws of the strange dinosaur removes large areas of flesh and cracks and shatters bone.

	Giganotosaurus vs Tyrannosaurus - kaijuphile.com Forums
		Rex, Giganotosaurus, Mapusaurus, Charcarodontosaurus, Torvosaurus et all are more-or-less tied for second place, varying in length and mass between 45ft and 5-7 tons depending on whom you consult, suggesting a sort of biomechanical limit for that type of body shape, (the big-headed, sleek predatory theropod shape).
		Giganotosaurus wouldn't be able to exert forces that great, and therefore wouldn't be able to inflict as much damage with a bite as a Rex...
		Giganotosaurus is very similar in structure to an allosaurus which was one of the agile therapods to exist.

		Giganotosaurus carolinii es el nombre cientÃfico de una especie de dinosaurio terÃ³podo, nombrada en 1995 a partir de varios restos fragmentarios encontrados en la provincia argentina de NeuquÃ©n.
		El Giganotosaurus poseÃa unas enormes patas para correr a gran velocidad y que ademÃ¡s, al ser de un peso ligero, le permitÃan cazar a sus prezas en carreras de largas distancias.
		Pero Giganotosaurus y Mapusaurus han sidos colocados juntos en una subfamilia llamada Giganotosaurinae por Coria y Currie en 2006 por lo que a medida que se hagan nuevos descubrimientos debera ser ampliada.

		The predator Giganotosaurus carolinii is hailed as stockier and bigger than Tyrannosaurus rex (but only by centimetres) and is reconstructed here with the latest information about skull shape (very similar to Carcharodontosaurus but with a double bony crest ridge on top of the snout).
		Amargasaurus can claim the title of Weirdest of all sauropods (the long necked elephantine saurischian dinosaurs) with its double 'sail' of elongated neck vertebrae that probably were covered by horny sheaths, giving it the appearance of porcupines.

		Giganotosaurus' arms were bigger and just as powerful as a Tyrannosaurus' arms, not to mention bigger and longer.
		Giganotosaurus was more of a wrestler, with it's heavy weight it would have amobushed prey and bit out hunks of important muscle like calves, thighs or shoulder muscles, and if things were more difficult,it would use those hands to hold prey while it sheared and slashed very very quickly like a croc or owl.
		On a documentary concerining giganotosaurus, carcharodontosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, Dr.Bakker said the rib of a megalosaur showed the guts to be 6 feet deep, and if you added all the meat and etc. it was bigger than giganotosaurus.

	Biggest Dinosaur
		A dinosaur name usually refers to one of three things: 1) where the fossil was found, 2) a distinctive characteristic of the animal, or (3) the scientist or person who discovered it.
		By comparing the length of each bone of Giganotosaurus with those of other giant meat eaters, we found that this Patagonian predator is the biggest meat-eating dinosaur known.
		Giganotosaurus is about half a meter longer than the biggest Tyrannosaurus rex, which we all know is really big!
