At the time of discovery, Giganotosaurus was believed to be the largest theropod before the discovery of another carnivorous dinosaur species about two years later. As far as carnivorous dinosaurs go, the semi-aquaticSpinosaurusis the longest. The dinosaur was found in North Africa in about the ...
A 50-foot-long carnivore who hunted its prey in rivers 97 million years ago, the spinosaurus is a "dragon from deep time." Paleontologist Nizar Ibrahim and his crew found new fossils, hidden in cliffs of the Moroccan Sahara desert, that are helping us learn more about the first swimming d...
Below the nostril in the upper jaw was a “subnarial gap” – a kink in the jaw bone forming a gap between the front and back teeth. This is also seen inSpinosaurus. To some paleontologists, the presence of a subnarial gap is evidence that Dilophosaurus, likeSpinosaurus, was a fish-e...
"The allosaurus is too fast for a DPS/bleed dinosaur!" See: Managarmr, deinonychus, water buffed spinosaurus, thylacoleo The managarmr is literally the bane of ARK. Wildcard has no idea what to do with this monstrosity they created. I cannot think of any other ...
Taking the title for the largest carnivorous dinosaur ever to stalk the Earth, Spinosaurus (“SPIN-oh-SORE-uss”) is thought to have been as long as one and a half double-decker London buses – 16 metres (52.5 feet) – and as heavy as a heard of full-grown Asian elephants, or 20 ...
as was that rampagingSpinosauruson the long-since-canceled TV series "Terra Nova." But the fact is that we know virtually nothing about the speed of individual dinosaurs, except for what can be extrapolated from preserved footprints or inferred by comparisons with modern animals—and none of tha...
a paleontologist and National Geographic Explorer who was part of a team that recently found tail bones of a Spinosaurus dinosaur in the Sahara Desert. The bones were a noteworthy discovery because their structure indicates that the Spinosaurus, which was larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, c...
The research sheds new light on a conundrum that has perplexed paleontologists. Dinosaurs had a joint in the middle of their lower jaws, called the intramandibular joint, which is also present in modern-day reptiles. Previous research has suggested this joint was flexible, like it is in snakes...
The bones represent about 20 embryonic individuals of the long-necked sauropodomorph Lufengosaurus, the most common dinosaur in the region during the EarlyJurassicperiod. An adult Lufengosaurus was approximately eight meters long. The disarticulated bones probably came from several nests containing...
