Bahariasaurus

Bahariasaurus (meaning "Bahariya lizard") is a genus of theropod dinosaur found in the Bahariya Formation in El-Waha el-Bahariya or Bahariya (Arabic: الواحة البحرية meaning the "northern oasis") oasis in Egypt, and the Farak Formation of Niger of North Africa, which date to the late Cretaceous Period, (Cenomanian age), about 95 million years ago. It was a huge theropod, in the same size range as "Tyrannosaurus" and the contemporary genus "Carcharodontosaurus". It was about 11-12 meters in length and 4 tonnes in weight.
Description.
The type species, "B. ingens", was described by Ernst Stromer in 1934, though the type specimen was destroyed during World War II. The exact placement of "Bahariasaurus" is uncertain, although it has been variously assigned to several theropod groups, including Carcharodontosauridae (by Rauhut in 1995) and Tyrannosauroidea (by Chure in 2000). It is potentially synonymous with "Deltadromeus", another theropod from the early Late Cretaceous of North Africa, if so, this would possibly make it the largest ceratosaur. More specimens would be needed to more accurately classify it, and to determine its relationship to "Deltadromeus".
In 2016 the description and analysis of "Aoniraptor", "Bahariasaurus" was found along with "Aoniraptor" and "Deltadromeus" to probably form a still poorly known clade simply known as Megaraptora, but still different from the more derived Megaraptoridae family.
However, recently it has been found that a referred skeleton of "Bahariasaurus" belongs to "Deltadromeus" and "Bahariasaurus" is regarded a "nomen dubium" by the authors. However, Mickey Mortimer believes "Bahariasaurus" is diagnostic.
