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)

habitat

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. Oxygen isotope evidence for semi-aquatic habits among spinosaurid theropods. Geology, 38, 139-142. http://geology.gsapubs.org/content/38/2/139 Spinosaurids were semiaquatic —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brisio (talk • contribs) 20:38, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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]

Said "spinosaurid" fossil is indetermined and may or may not actually be a spinosaurid. The temporal range should not be adjusted until said fossil's identity as a spinosaurid is confirmed.--Mr Fink (talk) 04:59, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New image?

Given the new Spinosaurus that's been published by Ibrahim et al., should the image of Spinosaurus here be changed to another image (e.g. another spinosaur, or Spinosaurus as it currently is on its own page)? Lythronaxargestes (talk) 05:37, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The New One

The Sigilmassasaurus... So its well known subject now... Should we add the new spinosauroid to this page ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dredann (talk • contribs) 22:58, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Classification confusion

Ichthyovenator laosensis is listed in the classification diagram twice, in the subfamilies Baryonychinae and Spinosaurinae. I suppose only one of these can be correct.92.29.248.209 (talk) 16:54, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted! Reference added under Baryonychinæ; duplicate under Spinosaurinæ removed.—Odysseus 1479 20:06, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Class Project edits

Hi, I have a class wikipedia assignment to edit this article. I'm adding a lot of stuff to a version of it in Word that I plan to post to the body of the article as soon as it's graded. Maronaut (talk) 07:59, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Early Jurassic Spinosaurs

http://www.dinosaurhome.com/extending-the-temporal-range-of-the-spinosauridae-14490.html. I'm just going to add temporal range of possibly starting 170mya. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.68.87.67 (talk) 10:55, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Someone keeps recreating the Australian Spinosaurid article

It appears User:Bubblesorg does not want to let go of the article he created even though there was a consensus on it being merged with Spinosauridae, he keeps recreating the page and has even gone as far as to revert some of my edits on this article as some sort of 'comeback' and has started an edit war. ▼PσlєοGєєк ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ (Contribs) 03:37, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Update: He looks to have stopped but someone might still want to notify him/her about this to keep them from doing something like it in the future. ▼PσlєοGєєк ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ (Contribs) 07:38, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have placed the redirect under extended confirmed protection in order to enforce the AfD result. I also left a note at Bubblesorg's user talk page. Mz7 (talk) 08:27, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
