Product Information

In spite of not being recognized as such, Spinosauridae has been known in Portugal since the 19th century thanks to the discovery of “ Suchosaurus girardi’’ (Sauvage, 1897–1898) [ 31– 33]. Shortly after the discovery of Baryonyx, a series of papers referred several isolated elements to this taxon from Spain, including a left maxilla [ 34] and a partial vertebral column and forelimb [ 35]. In addition, some isolated teeth and a hypertrophied manual ungual phalanx were attributed to baryonychine theropods [ 36, 37] along with several isolated teeth referred to spinosaurines [ 38, 39]. The first taxon of Spinosauridae described from the Iberian Peninsula, Vallibonavenatrix cani Malafaia et al., 2020 [ 6], was established on the basis of cervical, dorsal, sacral, and caudal elements, with fragments of ribs, chevrons, and a relatively complete pelvic girdle; their analysis placed it within Spinosaurinae. Camarillasaurus cirugedae Sánchez-Hernández & Benton, 2012 [ 40] was originally regarded as a ceratosaur but has now been suggested to be a megalosauroid, with probable spinosaurid affinities [ 8, 41].

Geographical and geological settings of the type locality of Iberospinus natarioi (ML1190) at Praia de Aguncheiras.A team of international researchers including scientists from Leicester University, the University of Portsmouth and the University of Detroit Mercy, have published a paper in the academic journal “Nature” that concludes that the giant theropod Spinosaurus was indeed an aquatic animal. In the autumn of 2014, a paper was published in the journal “Science” entitled “Semiaquatic adaptations in a giant predatory dinosaur”. Spinosaurus was depicted as an obligate quadruped very much at home in the water. In this latest publication, three of the authors involved in the earlier study, Nizar Ibrahim of the University of Detroit Mercy, Cristiano Dal Sasso and Simone Maganuco from the Natural History Museum of Milan (Italy), have collaborated with numerous other researchers in the analysis of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus tail bones.

An interesting fact about Chilesaurus is that paleontologist have described this dinosaur as a vegetarian T- Rex. That’s because it is from the same family as T- Rex dinosaurs, but was definitely an herbivore. It was a truly unique dinosaur that must have begun to evolve along its own lines thanks to its relative isolation from other therapods.

Universal really needs to give Papo a license to make official Jurassic Park/World dinosaurs. They deserve it. I can’t imagine how incredible a Papo Indominus Rex would look! Aillud GS.

Available from: https://pearl.plymouth.ac.uk/handle/10026.1/2102Several morphometric parameters of the pedal ungual phalanx show an intermediate condition between those of theropods with typical terrestrial lifestyles and Spinosaurus. This coupled with the previously discussed characteristics of the tail, point towards a relatively expected paleoecology for Iberospinus as a baryonychine, not having the extreme adaptations (either for wading or pursuit predation) seen in some spinosaurines, but presenting a tendency towards those [ 16, 84].

This Concavenator is fiercely insulting to intelligence and I genuinely think it's the worst dinosaur toy ever. It's sad to see this from Papo.

Silhouettes based on Novas et al., 2005 for Tyrannotitan and Abelisauria indet., and Maganuco & Dal Sasso, 2018 for Spinosaurus. An interesting fact about Stygimoloch is that some paleontologists now believe that what is called Stygimoloch was actually a juvenile version of a Pachycephalosaurus. At this point, it is just a theory and it hasn’t yet been confirmed whether or not this is the case.
