Cited by genera

• Carcharodontosaurus

  Recognizes the Kem Kem Group as the lower Gara Sbaa and upper Douira formations, and places the neotype cranium in the Douira Formation.

• Deltadromeus

  Places the holotype at Aferdou N'Chaft, and identifies the "Er Remlia" of the original description as the village nearest a different locality, Iferda N'Ahouar.

• Sauroniops

  Synonymizes S. pachytholus with Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, interpreting the holotype as an immature C. saharicus frontal with unconvincing diagnostic characters.

• Sigilmassasaurus

  Rebuts the emended diagnosis, reporting the ventral platform character in Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, and rejects the referral of Spinosaurus maroccanus.

• Spinosaurus

  Describes Spinosaurus tail material bearing on its aquatic locomotion, and rejects the referral of the Spinosaurus maroccanus holotype to Sigilmassasaurus brevicollis.
