Carnophoneus

Carnophoneus was a genus of giant predatory megaraptoran dinosaur. It hunted other dinosaurs such as Tasmaniadon and Xepesmenoceratops. It was first discovered in 2029, a very long time ago. At that time the only bones of it found were a few teeth and fragmentary claw pieces. It was called a crocodylomorph by many experts, due to the bones. In 2030 it was assigned to the genus Australosuchus, meaning "Australian crocodile". In 2030 the same year, it got its species name A. Fragmentus, due to its fragmentary remains. Later in 2034, a normal family stumbled up on the remains of a mysterious creature, and the bones found were a fragmentary skull with teeth, 3 neck vertabrae, half a hip bone, one thigh bone, 7 tail vertebra and a complete foot. They realized it was a theropod dinosaur, and named it Kryptocephalus Hartzoorum, after Hartz mountains national park. In 2039 some phylogenetic analysis on A.Fragmentus was performed and showed signs of similarities to megaraptoran species. Australosuchus wasn't yet prtected name so they removed it and renamed it into Carnophoneus Fragmentus. In 2042 a phylo analysis was performed again but now on Kryptocephalus and showed signs of similarities to C. Fragmentus. In 2043 they eventually merged into one species, and replaced Fragmentus with Hartzoorum because it sounded more appropriate thus creating a new species: Carnophoneus Hartzoorum. In life it would look like a typical megaraptoran, with the long snout and giant claws. This build was also most likely built for speed. Carnophoneus may have hunted by crouching in bushes and then springing out at the prey using a hit and run tactic because it can be hard to hunt down armored dinosaurs such as Xepesmenoceratops.
