M. Kellermann et al. 2025Tameryraptor markgrafi gen. nov sp. nov. is a carcharodontosaurid theropod characterized by the following unique character combination (autapomorphies marked with a *): antorbital fossa visible on nasals in lateral view; small nasal horn on the medial rim of the nasals*; maxilla with well-developed antorbital ridge; maxillary teeth highly symmetrical anteroposteriorly; prefrontal facet on frontal not expanded; frontals vaulted dorsally*; femur with spike like accessory trochanter; proximal fibula more anteriorly than posteriorly expanded.
Additional diagnostic features (see previous section for explanation): internasal suture inclined ventromedially*; anterior middle caudal vertebrae with well-developed pneumaticity including foramina posterior to prezygapophyses opening into spinoprezygpaophsyseal fossa* and pneumatic foramina in vertebral bodies;
