Tameryraptor ("thief from the beloved land") is a genus of carcharodontosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in North Africa during the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian). It was found in the Bahariya Formation of Egypt and contains one species, T. markgrafi, the lost holotype of which was originally assigned to the genus Carcharodontosaurus.
History
The lost holotype of Tameryraptor (SNSB-BSPG 1922 X 46) was found in the Bahariya Formation of Egypt and was described by the German paleontologist Ernst Stromer in 1931 as the Epyptian specimen of Carcharodontosaurus.
The remains were destroyed in the Bombing of Munich in World War II, and therefore this genus was named based off an archival photograph. The genus name comes from "ta-mery", an ancient egyptian term for the country meaning Beloved Land, and raptor, meaning thief, while the species name honours Richard Markgraf, the Austrian fossil collector who Stromer worked with.
Description

Stromer estimated that the holotype of Tameryraptor (SNSB-BSPG 1922 X 46) would have been similar in size to the 8–9 metres (26–30 ft) long tyrannosaurid Gorgosaurus. Tameryraptor had a small horn-like protrusion upon its snout as its most distinguishing feature.
