The species Ulughbegsaurus Uzbekistanensis is a new discovery from research studies. In the study of giant jawbone fossils of giant predators, dating to about 90 million years ago.
Launching National Geographic, the results of this discovery were quite surprising to scientists.
Because in terms of size, both length and width are quite extraordinary. Moreover, for the weight of this animal, it is quite an astonishing discovery.
If they compare from the previous greatest discovery to this bigger one. Naturally, this research is interesting for them.

New Discovery, Species Ulughbegsaurus Uzbekistanensis
Including dinosaurs that eat meat to survive. This time it comes with jagged teeth like those of a shark that also preys on other animals around it.
Taking the name of this ancient species comes from where it was found. Located in Uzbekistan at this time, the skeleton of this fossil was found.
Name Retrieval
The naming of Ulughbegsaurus Uzbekistanensis comes from combining the name of an astronomer and the name of a place. Ulugh Beg was an astronomer, mathematician and famous Timurid Sultan in the 15th century ago.
Meanwhile, Uzbekistan from the area became a historic discovery. So the combination of the two became the name of this giant species.
Species Size Ulughbegsaurus Uzbekistanensis
If we want to easily harm the massive size of this species then its size is unusual. Because the length of this dinosaur reached 8 meters with a weight of up to 1,000 kg.
Than the elephants of African origin it is clearly longer. As for weight, if we compare it with Bison, this one species will still win.
The researchers even stated that from previous discoveries that was a Tyrannosaurus. It is still twice as long and weighs even five times that of the predators of the ecosystem.
We can imagine if this species is still alive at this time. It is clear that human life will not survive the spies of this super giant and ferocious power and size.

Discovery Location
The species Ulughbegsaurus Uzbekistanensis they found in Uzbekistan to be exact. However, a piece of the jaw bone, precisely in the Kyzylkum Desert, dates from 1980.
After almost decades, in 2019 finally found the pieces again. It turned out that in the collections of the Museum of Uzbekistan kept it.
From the U-shaped jawbone, the researchers finally concluded. That they can confirm the shape of the teeth is jagged like a shark.
But researchers say that the size of the species makes it a possible top predator of the environment. His life may coexist in the Bisesekty Formation environment with theropods as well as several other carnivores that were found in Central Asia.
Findings
The species Ulughbegsaurus Uzbekistanensis is an interesting new discovery. From two specimen references, it is stated that this species belongs to the genus CC MGE 600/12457.
On the left jaw finding which refers to Dromaeosaurid Itemirus and ZIN PH 357/16. In addition, the posterior end of the right maxilla shows this.
While the Bisskey Formation isolates the teeth. To show that the similarity of the morphology of carcharodontosaurus.
So this does give the possibility of having the Ulughbegsaurus Species or even having another genus of possible carcharodontosaurus morphology.
What was Carcharodontosaurus?
We’ve mentioned it several times in the discussion above about this. Well, to understand it, let’s discuss in more detail.
In the grouping of dinosaur species there are several clear divisions. Well, Carcharodontosaurus is one of those groups. Being one of the predatory Theropod dinosaurs with medium to large or giant sizes.
Then the species Ulughbegsaurus Uzbekistanensis falls into this category. His past life thrived on the northern supercontinent of Laurasia. In the state after holding Turonian on Lime.
Some of these species are said to even reach extreme sizes. Imagine more than 6 tons that could rival Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurids.
This conclusion suggests that this species roamed the Earth during the Cretaceous. Between 92 and 90 years ago. Widespread from Continental Europe to East Asia.
The species Ulughbegsaurus Uzbekistanensis became a transitional apex predator niche in the Late Cretaceous. This discovery is a new thing in the field of world archaeology. (R10/HR Online)
