TO GO WITH STORY by Mira Oberman, US-science-paleontology
This artists rendering obtained from the University of Chicago shows one of two new meat-eating dinosaurs which hunted the rich forests of Africa some 110 million years ago have been unearthed in Niger, researchers said on February 13, 2008. The heavy-browed 40-foot (12.1-meter) long Eocarcharia dinops (L), or "fierce-eyed dawn shark," was likely the main predator as its powerful claws and teeth could tear limbs and flesh off its prey. Its brow was swollen into a massive band of bone, giving it a menacing glare, that may have been used as a battering ram against rivals for mating rights.
