Cited by genera

  • Asfaltovenator

    Re-evaluation of a carcharodontosaurid supporting an Allosauridae placement for Asfaltovenator.

  • Carcharodontosaurus

    Re-evaluation supports excluding a Bahariya taxon from Carcharodontosaurus sensu stricto.

  • Chilantaisaurus

    Treated Chilantaisaurus as an indeterminate tetanuran of uncertain affinity in its re-evaluation.

  • Concavenator

    Carcharodontosaurid re-evaluation placed Concavenator near base of Carcharodontosauria with Siamraptor.

  • Datanglong

    Treated Datanglong as an indeterminate carcharodontosaurid in its re-evaluation.

  • Kelmayisaurus

    Re-evaluated Bahariya carcharodontosaurid material, finding unstable allosauroid position for Kelmayisaurus.

  • Lusovenator

    Carcharodontosaurid re-evaluation recovering Lusovenator as basal, close to Lajasvenator.

  • Neovenator

    Recovers Carcharodontosauria under some weightings only; under the others Neovenator falls lower in Allosauroidea with Chilantaisaurus.

  • Sauroniops

    In discussing Kem Kem carcharodontosaurid diversity, treats Sauroniops as a nomen dubium, holding that erecting a taxon on a single frontal is inappropriate.

  • Shaochilong

    Recovered Shaochilong within Tyrannosauroidea, not Carcharodontosauridae.

  • Siamraptor

    Reanalysis places Siamraptor within Metriacanthosauridae absent monophyletic Carcharodontosauria.

  • Siats

    Allosauroid re-evaluation recovering Siats firmly within Megaraptora.

  • Sigilmassasaurus

    Notes the claimed shared occurrence of the genus in the Bahariya Formation and the Kem Kem Group as warranting reexamination.

  • Tameryraptor
  • Ulughbegsaurus

    Re-evaluation of Bahariya carcharodontosaurid material bears on Ulughbegsaurus's carcharodontosaurid affinities.

  • Veterupristisaurus

    Re-evaluation of Bahariya carcharodontosaurid recovered Veterupristisaurus within Carcharodontosauridae.

Cited by clades

  • Megaraptora

    Carcharodontosaurid re-evaluation's allosauroid-focused analysis recovers megaraptorans as coelurosaurs.

  • Metriacanthosauridae

    Re-evaluation with phylogeny recovering Metriacanthosauridae as sister to Carcharodontosauridae within Carcharodontosauriformes.
