Deinocheirus mirificus
Deinocheirus is a genus of very large ornithomimosaurian dinosaur that lived in what is now southern Mongolia during the late Cretaceous period around 70 million years ago. The genus Deinocheirus contains one species, Deinocheirus mirificus. D. mirificus was long thought of as a very mysterious dinosaur, known only from a set of gigantic fossil arm bones. The discovery of more complete skeletons helped to solve this longstanding mystery, revealing a very strange, giant, bipedal omnivore. Deinocheirus mirificus was a large ornithomimosaurian, measuring up to 11 m (36 ft) long, and with an estimated upper weight of 6.358 t (6.258 long tons; 7.008 short tons). Though it had many of the typical skeletal features of its group, its overall appearance was very different from its relatives. While other ornithomimosaurians were light and fleet-footed, Deinocheirus had evolved to outsize its predators, and effectively became slower and bulkier.
Tyrannotitan chubutensis
Tyrannotitan (meaning "titanic tyrant") is a genus of huge bipedal carnivorous dinosaur of the carcharodontosaurid family from the Aptian stage of the early Cretaceous period, discovered in Argentina. It is closely related to other giant predators like Carcharodontosaurus and especially Giganotosaurus as well as Mapusaurus. Tyrannotitan is the geologically oldest known giant carcharodontosaurid along with the more basal Acrocanthosaurus from North America (both found in Aptian-age rocks). Unlike other known carcharodontosaurids, this animal lacks pneumaticity extending into the sacral and caudal centra. The scapulocoracoid is fused, and much better developed than that of Giganotosaurus carolinii, yet the arm is very small. Most of the shaft of the scapula is missing. The length of these animals has been estimated at up to 11.4–12.2 metres (37–40 ft). In 2010, Gregory S. Paul gave higher estimations of 13 metres (43 ft). Its weight has been estimated between 4.9 and 7 tonnes (5.4 and 7.7 short tons).
