A team of scientists has identified a new species of giant horned dinosaurs that lived in North Africa around 95 million years ago, despite their fossilized remains being destroyed during World War II.

The discovery was based on archival images of a skeleton of a predatory dinosaur, 10 meters long, named Tameryraptor markgrafi .

The original skeleton was described in 1914 after being excavated in the Bahariya Oasis in Egypt .

And it was stored along with other fossils in the "Bavarian State Collection for Paleontology and Geology" in Munich.

At that time, paleontologist Ernst Stromer had classified the fossil under the genus Carcharodontosaurus, known for its shark-like teeth .
