Comments- Megalosaurus saharicus is based on two teeth from the Albian Continental Intercalaire of Algeria (Deperet and Sevornin, 1925). Later, Stromer (1931) described a partial skeleton from the Early Cenomanian Baharija Formation of Egypt and referred it to this species, creating the genus Carcharodontosaurus for it. An incomplete skull from the Cenomanian Kem Kem Formation of Morocco closely resembling Stromer's specimen was reported by Sereno et al. (1996). Brusatte and Sereno (2005) report a new species of Carcharodontosaurus, which differs in some cranial characters from Stromer's and Sereno et al.'s specimens. Dental differences are not reported, however, making referral of isolated teeth to either species uncertain. In fact, no diagnostic differences have been noted between the teeth of Carcharodontosaurus, Giganotosaurus and Mapusaurus. Thus the referral of isolated teeth to any particular derived carcharodontosaurid taxon is based solely on locality. This includes the holotype of Megalosaurus saharicus, perhaps indicating Stromer's specimen should be made a neotype for the species. The ilium (IPHG 1912 VIII 68) referred to Carcharodontosaurus by Stromer (1934) does not necessarily belong to this taxon, and may be abelisauroid (?= Deltadromeus or Bahariasaurus). Twelve teeth and a few mid caudal vertebrae from the type locality were described by Lapparent (1960). The teeth are described as having enamel wrinkles as in derived carcharodontosaurids and being very similar to the holotype, though the caudals' referral is uncertain. They are referred here to C. saharicus based on provenance. Russell (1996) described a maxillary fragment, cervical vertebra and teeth from the Kem Kem Formation of Morocco, which though closely resembling those in Stromer's specimen, are only referred to the species saharicus based on provenance. The same can be said for teeth from that locality mentioned by Lavocat (1954) and Sadlier (1998), though Lavocat's teeth were not only compared to Carcharodontosaurus, but also Tendaguru taxa and Tyrannosaurus, so may not be referrable to carcharodontosaurids at all. Smith et al. (2001) reported new remains of cf. Carcharodontosaurus from the Baharija Formation of Egypt. Sereno et al. (1996) referred the specimen of Spinosaurus B and the material of Sigilmassasaurus to Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, but this is not followed here (see Sigilmassasaurus entry).

C. sp. nov. (Brusatte and Sereno, 2005)
Cenomanian, Late Cretaceous
Echkar Formation of the Tegama Group, Niger
Material- partial maxilla
Referred- braincase, teeth, anterior dentary
Diagnosis- (after Brusatte and Sereno, 2005) ventral margin of antorbital fossa not laterally swollen; robust medial ridge on maxilla; more slender, laterally divergent laterosphenoid alae; unspecified maxillary and endocast characters.
Comments- This is reportedly a new species of Carcharodontosaurus, with both Stromer's (1931) partial skeleton and Sereno et al.'s (1996) skull belonging to another species, provisionally called C. saharicus (though the holotype teeth may not be diagnostic to species level; see C. saharicus entry). However, Mapusaurus shares the laterally swollen ventral antorbital fossa margin with C. saharicus, but not C. sp. nov.. Furthermore, the synapomorphies uniting C. saharicus with C. sp. nov. to the exclusion of other carcharodontosaurids are as yet unreported.

C? sp. indet. (Lapparent, 1953)
Albian-Early Cenomanian, Early Cretaceous-Late Cretaceous
Tegama Group, Niger
Material- (MNNHN coll.; from In Abangarit) two braincase fragments, 137 teeth (anterior teeth- 80x33 mm, 77x31 mm, 62x28 mm, 64x27 mm, 54x26 mm; lateral teeth- 125x47 mm, 70x45 mm, 105x40 mm, 90x37 mm, 87x36 mm), proximal caudal vertebra (120 mm), distal caudal vertebra, manual phalanx II-2 (60 mm), pedal ungual II (90 mm) (Lapparent, 1960)
Comments- This material was not found associated, so could belong to multiple individuals of several large theropod taxa (Deltadromeus, Bahariasaurus, Spinosaurus, Sigilmassasaurus, etc.). Over a hundred of the teeth are carcharodontosaurid, however. Carcharodontosaurid material may be referrable to Carcharodontosaurus sp. nov., based on provenance.

C? sp. indet. (Lapparent, 1960)
Albian, Early Cretaceous
Continental Intercalaire, Algeria
Material- ?(MNNHN coll.; from Alrar) caudal vertebra (60 mm), pedal ungual III (100 mm) (Lapparent, 1960)
(MNNHN coll.; from Aoulef) dorsal centrum (75 mm), proximal caudal centrum (105 mm), few mid caudal vertebrae (~70-100 mm), caudal vertebra (80 mm) (Lapparent, 1960)
(from Oued Boudjihane) teeth (Bassoullet and Iliou, 1967)
Comments- This material was not found associated, so could belong to multiple individuals of several large theropod taxa (Deltadromeus, Bahariasaurus, Spinosaurus, Sigilmassasaurus, etc.). A manual ungual from Dijoua referred to C. saharicus by Lapparent matches bone taxon J of Russell (1996), a possible oviraptorosaur. A distal metatarsal from Alrar referred to C. saharicus by Lapparent is actually a manual phalanx and matches bone taxon I of Russell, which may belong to the same species as bone taxon J.
