The dinosaur’s fossilized remains were found in 1914 from the Bahariya Formation from a locality in the northern part of the Bahariya Oasis in Egypt. They were first described in 1931 by the German paleontologist Ernst Stromer von Reichenbach, who mistakenly dubbed the species the Carcharodontosaurus saharicus.

What's slightly unusual is that the discovery was made after the uncovering of some long-lost photographs of its fossils. Find out more here.

Paleontologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison determined a fossil found in 2013 is a new species of dinosaur, the earliest-known dino in the norhtern hemisphere.

Scientists used lost fossil photos to identify Tameryraptor markgrafi, a new dinosaur species from Egypt. The fossil was destroyed in WWII.

A massive species of dinosaur has been identified by scientists, and it's thought that it lived around 95 million years ago in modern-day Africa. At a whopping 10-metres long, it is thought to be one of the largest known land-based carnivores ever to have roamed our planet and its relatives include the North African and South American
