Spinosaurs<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0are a group of extinct carnivorous dinosaurs that lived in North Africa during the Late Cretaceous period, 112-93.5 million years ago. The only complete skeleton of Spinosaurus<\/em> was discovered in Egypt in 1915 and was destroyed in the Second World War, but numerous fragmented remains were later discovered in Egypt and Morocco. It is estimated that Spinosaurus<\/em> could reach sizes between 13-18 meters and weigh between 7-20 tonnes, which makes it one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs of all time, even larger than the famous Tyrannosaurus rex<\/em>!<\/p>\n

The body of Spinosaurus<\/em> was more slender than that of other carnivorous dinosaurs and adapted to a semi-aquatic lifestyle, similar to that of a modern crocodile. Its teeth measured 4\u201317 cm, lacked serrations and were specialised for catching fish and other aquatic reptiles, although they could also be used to attack terrestrial prey. Spinosaurus<\/em> had one of the most complex dentitions of all dinosaurs, due to the varied categories of prey it hunted.<\/p>\n

Along the back, Spinosaurus<\/em> had a series of vertebral extensions that joined together into a sail-like structure, whose purpose was suspected to be either social or thermoregulatory.<\/p>\n

The teeth of Spinosaurus<\/em> and fragments of bones are found in large quantities in Morocco and are collected by dinosaur enthusiasts from all over the world.<\/p>\n
