People who are craze about dinosaurs have one more
species to add up in their list. Yes, it is Spinosaurus. This massive dinosaur
has been unearthed by paleontologists long years ago in Sahara. Spinosaurus had
3-foot-long jaw with unevenly arranged serrated teeth which is comparatively
larger than any other dinosaur species. Researchers have currently revealed the
fact that this Spinosaurus is known to be the ever found biggest dinosaur than
both T.rex and Gigantosaurus.
As the fossils of this dinosaur have been completely
destroyed during the Second World War, the young paleontologist Nizar Ibrahim
has gave new life to this species. He actually spotted the fossil remains when
he made visit to the Natural History Museum in Milan, where the partial
skeleton of the displayed species matched with the observed feature of
Spinosaurus. Later, based on the close experimental analysis it is confirmed
that the displayed species was Spinosaurus which lived during the Cretaceous
Period, over 112 million to 97 million years ago.
Currently, the skeleton model of this species is
displayed at the National Geographic Museum in Washington, D.C. The found life-size
skeleton model of Spinosaurus will surely be considered as a milestone
discovery as it could expose still more unpredicted facts about dinosaurs.
