Ekrixinatosaurus novasi

Ekrixinatosaurus (name means "explosion-born lizard," referring to being discovered during a blasting operation) is based on a fair amount of a skeleton belonging to a single individual, about 6 m long from its skeletal restoration. Both maxillae and dentaries, part of the braincase, a couple of cervicals, many dorsals, the sacrum, anterior-middle caudals, most of the pelvis (except for the distal ischia), ribs, most of one hindlimb, and the knee of the other hindlimb were preserved. It has standard "carnotaur" caudal process wings and pelvic design. It has a relatively bigger head than Carnotaurus (extrapolated skull-femur ratio 1.00 compared to 0.58), but is not particularly unique compared to other abelisaurids.
