picture

is there any pic for spinosauridae? can we put reference from jurassic park 3 movie? i remember there's spinosaurus in that movie. HoneyBee 22:22, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is this picture really the best choice? the one I'm viewing seems to be an artistic sculpt in some Asian museum, not an actual representation... the inaccuracies are appalling.Agwanier (talk) 01:01, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We could always use one of the nearly equally artistic sculpts of Suchomimus... spinosaurids are a very poorly known group, any museum mount will have a lot of guesswork and sculpting involved. The only error here that I can see is the upper jaw is too robust, but I wonder how much individual variation could account for that, as many undescribed specimens seem to have more robust jaws than the dal Sasso skull.

merging

Shouldn't this be merged with spinosaurid (spinosauridae is the plural of spinosaurid)? 20:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I created a new section talking bout this new 2010 study Amiot, R., Buffetaut, E., Lécuyer, C., Wang, X., Boudad, L., Ding, Z., Fourel, F., Hutt, S.,Martineau, F., Medeiros, A., Mo, J., Simon, L., Suteethorn. 2010.

Saw that; I did some massaging of the text to add some detail and make it less just the end of the abstract. J. Spencer (talk) 03:53, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Asiamericane is definitively not a spinosaurid. It's probably more closely related to Richardoestesia (whatever the latter is) Mortimer pinted it out with some nice papers that should be mentioned here, imo http://home.comcast.net/~eoraptor/Dromaeosaurs.htm#Richardoestesiaasiatica —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brisio (talk • contribs) 16:16, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Campanian-Maastrichtian record

On another wiki page it states that their is a Spinosaurid fossil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maevarano_Formation#Dinosaurs. If it is true than we could extend the temporal range. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.105.47 (talk) 04:16, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
