Spinosaurus Illustration
Spinosaurus
At an estimated maximum length of 15 metres, Spinosaurus was the largest of all known theropod dinosaurs. Spinosaurus
This enormous, strange-looking theropod prowled the coastal plains of northern Africa, 108–98 million years ago. The shape of its teeth and jaw indicate that Spinosaurus included fish in its diet. A fossil of a partial skull has also been found with a fish vertebra lodged in one of the tooth sockets. The rivers and estuaries of northern Africa were teeming with the giant sawfish called Onchopristis and other fish. The sheer size of an adult Spinosaurus probably enabled it to prey on Onchopristis that could have been several metres in length, while at the same time giving it some immunity to attacks by Carcharodontosaurus
