Afrovenator

Afrovenator was a theropod dinosaur from the  Middle Jurassic of northern Africa. It was a bipedal meat-eating predator with long bladelike teeth.  Fossils have been found in Abaka, Niger in the southern Sahara desert. A nearly complete Afrovenator was found in 1993. It is one of the most complete dinosaurs found in Africa so far.Sereno P.C. et al 1994. Early Cretaceous dinosaurs from the Sahara. Science 266 : 267-270  

The rocks where it was found were redescribed as "mid-Jurassic" after the discovery had been announced.Rauhut and Lopez-Arbarello 2009. Considerations on the age of the Tiouaren Formation (Iullemmeden Basin, Niger, Africa): implications for Gondwanan Mesozoic terrestrial vertebrate faunas. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 271: 259-267.

It is in a group of theropods which are known as the Megalosaurs.
