Talk:Carcharodontosauridae

Apparently it's an actual thing: German Wikipedia article. Maybe we can fix it? Subterrane 08:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

What makes a Carcharodontosaurid?
This article doesn't include anything about this, which is very important. 122.109.250.74 (talk) 06:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll take care of it. 180.191.138.175 (talk) 03:04, 6 December 2016 (UTC)Luigi Gaskell

Problem.....
For some reason the temporal range of Carcharodontosauridae extinction was changed from 70mya to 91mya. Despite the fact there were appropriate sources stating Campanian-Maastrichtian records of this family. I think someone has a problem with updated information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.50.48.2 (talk) 01:29, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

umm
"However, past the Turonian (lol), there seem to be no signs of the presence of these animals anywhere on the world." Notice the 'lol', but sccoriding to the history it has been removed. But it hasnt. So i decided to, one problem. When i edit the page the'lol' aint there. ??????? Spinodontosaurus (talk) 16:40, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I see the problem too. It's probably a lag in page cache somewhere along the line.  So, I edited that section to clear out the cobwebs (merged the two paragraphs; no problem with reversing this, as it was a test mostly), and it looks like it's gone now. J.

Maastrichtian Carcharodontosaurids
I have prove that they defiantly survived till 67mya

 * Campanian–Maastrichtian is by definition 70 Ma ago, not 67. This can be added with a valid citation of the paper. MMartyniuk (talk) 11:54, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Etymology in the article lede
I noticed earlier that you undid an edit by an IP user on the etymology in the article lede. The etymology in the first place seems a bit unnecessary, however, as the name Carcharodontosauridae derives from Carcharodontosaurus, the archetypal genus, and a complete etymology is shown on that page. Hence, I think it would be possible to just axe the etymology portion in the title. Hdjensofjfnen (tap) 18:36, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

size statement in the lede
Giganotosaurus, Mapusaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and Tyrannotitan all rivaled or exceeded Tyrannosaurus in size. <-- Isn't the weight for the largest T-Rex specimens estimated at 8-9 tons? And Tyrannotitan is not as large as the others from what I've read.HammerFilmFan (talk) 03:27, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
