Rugops
Rugops (meaning "wrinkle face") is a genus of theropod dinosaur which inhabited what is now Africa approximately 95 million years ago. The discovery of a Rugops skull in Niger in 2000 was a crucial breakthrough in the understanding of the evolution of theropods in that area, and demonstrates that this landmass was still united with Gondwana at that stage in history.

Spinostropheus
Spinostropheus is a genus of small ceratosaurian dinosaur that lived in the Early Cretaceous period of Niger. Originally thought to be a species of the closely related Elaphrosaurus, subsequent studies (Sereno et al. 2002) have found that it is more closely related to the abelisaurs. [more]
