Brazilian Spinosaurs Shed Light on Spinosaurid Lifestyle

[Simon]

Very interesting blog article about a new study of Brazilian Spinosaur fossils - looks like they might have gotten as large as S. Aegipticus:

Excerpt:

"It's harder to find spinosaurs than you'd think. We understand they had a strong relationship with aquatic environments, yet their fossil record is poor. As we've seen with other fossil deposits, species endemic to marine and freshwater environments typically are more well-represented. This leaves paleontologists scratching at the few clues they have. Are we sure these predators lived amphibious lifestyles? We're lacking the necessary data to answer some of the most crucial questions about the lives of spinosaurs."
