* Lapparent (1951, 1960) described several ''Carcharodontosaurus'' teeth from the Continental intercalaire Formation of [[Tataouine Governorate|Guermessa, Tunisia]].<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":16">{{cite journal|last1=Buffetaut|first1=Éric|last2=Ouaja|first2=Mohamed|title=A new specimen of ''Spinosaurus'' (Dinosauria, Theropoda) from the Lower Cretaceous of Tunisia, with remarks on the evolutionary history of the Spinosauridae|journal=Bulletin de la Société géologique de France|year=2002|volume=173|issue=5|pages=415–421|doi=10.2113/173.5.415|s2cid=53519187|url=https://doc.rero.ch/record/14728/files/PAL_E1854.pdf}}</ref>
* A [[postorbital bone]] and several postcranial remains assigned to ''Carcharodontosaurus'' were found in the [[Elrhaz Formation]] of northern Niger. Taquet (1976) noted that the postorbital was similar to that of ''Acrocanthosaurus,'' a relative of  ''Carcharodontosaurus'',{{sfn|Taquet|1976|p=53}} while the postcranial fossils could belong to other theropods.<ref name="Mortimer 2023 Carnosauria"/><ref name="Tameryraptor" />
* Two braincase fragments, 137 teeth, two caudal vertebrae, and a manual phalanx from the Echkar Formation were referred to as ''Carcharodontosaurus'' by Lapparent (1960).<ref name=":2" /> A pedal phalanx had also been described as ''Carcharodontosaurus'' but it likely is from a spinosaurid instead.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Ibrahim |first1=Nizar |last2=Sereno |first2=Paul C. |last3=Dal Sasso |first3=Cristiano |last4=Maganuco |first4=Simone |last5=Fabbri |first5=Matteo |last6=Martill |first6=David M. |last7=Zouhri |first7=Samir |last8=Myhrvold |first8=Nathan |last9=Iurino |first9=Dawid A. |date=September 26, 2014 |title=Semiaquatic adaptations in a giant predatory dinosaur |journal=Science |volume=345 |issue=6204 |pages=1613–1616 |doi=10.1126/science.1258750 |pmid=25213375 |bibcode=2014Sci...345.1613I |s2cid=34421257 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
* Many vertebrae, including two associated dorsals, were found in the [[Early Cretaceous]] strata of the [[Irhazer Shale|Irhazer Group]] of [[Agadez Region|Agadez]], Niger. Lapparent mentioned these fossils as ''C. saharicus'' in 1960,<ref name=":2" /> though they may belong to other theropod genera.<ref name="Mortimer 2023 Carnosauria"/>
* Caudal vertebrae from the Tefidet and teeth from Akarazeras sites of the Continental intercalaire Formation of Agadez, Niger were recorded by Lapparent (1960)<ref name=":2" /> and Taquet (1976) respectively.{{sfn|Taquet|1976|p=53}} The vertebrae could be from other theropods.<ref name="Mortimer 2023 Carnosauria"/>
* From an unknown locale in the Continental intercalaire of the Sahara Desert, Lapparent (1960) documented eight vertebrae, a humerus, and a manual phalanx as coming from ''C. saharicus.''<ref name=":2" /> These elements could be from other theropods.<ref name="Mortimer 2023 Carnosauria"/>

* In 2015, a large [[neural arch]] of a [[Thoracic vertebrae|dorsal vertebra]] from the Kem Kem Beds was informally described as belonging to a new genus and species of [[megaraptora]]n dubbed "Osteoporosia gigantea". This specimen is owned by the head of a Polish theme park chain who described it as belonging to a {{Convert|15|m|ft}} long carnosaur similar to ''[[Mapusaurus]]'' and ''Carcharodontosaurus.''<ref>{{Cite web |last=Singer |date=2015 |title=JuraPark na tropie nowych dinozaurow z Maroka. |url=https://jurapark.pl/jurapark-na-tropie-nowych-dinozaurow-z-maroka/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151206224352/https://jurapark.pl/jurapark-na-tropie-nowych-dinozaurow-z-maroka/ |archive-date=December 6, 2015 |access-date=June 27, 2023 |website=Jurapark}}</ref> However, it was much smaller than proposed and may belong to ''C. saharicus'' or ''Sauroniops'' based on its carcharodontosaurid traits and origin.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Molina-Pérez |first1=Rubén |title=Dinosaur Facts and Figures: The Theropods and Other Dinosauriformes |last2=Larramendi |first2=Asier |last3=Connolly |first3=David |last4=Cruz |first4=Gonzalo Ángel Ramírez |date=2019 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-0-691-19059-4 }}{{pn|date=October 2024}}</ref>
