Spinosaurus Habitat
This huge theropod lived during the mid-Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era, in what is now Northern Africa. At that time the Sahara Desert did not exist! Instead Northern Africa was lush, with rivers, lakes and wetlands. This carniverous dinosaur lived mainly on fish. Some scientists believe that spinosaurus was so well adapted to a watery environment that it could swim!
What Did Spinosaurus Eat?
There is evidence that the spinosaurus diet consisted mainly of fish. Some spinosaurus fossils have been found with fish fossils including scales. In addition the shape of spinosaurus teeth are similar to that of animals living today who are known to eat fish. They are round, cone shaped, and are not serrated like other large theropods.
Spinosaurus Teeth
The teeth of this dinosaur are pretty common. Spinosaurus teeth fell out and were replaced throught its lifetime. At any given time there were both large and small teeth present in its jaw. The largest teeth were close to 5 inches long! This size is rare however. More commomly, 2 to 3 inch teeth are found. Complete unrepaired teeth are very rare because of the fragile nature of the fossil teeth.
Spinosaurus Size
Spinosaurus was one of the largest of the theropod dinosaurs measuring as much as 56 feet long. It could weigh as much as 9 tons, (18,000 pounds). Theopods walked on two legs, had 3 toes on its hind feet, and had lizard hips, (saurischian).
The Discovery of Spinosaurus
The first spinosaurus skeleton was discovered in 1912 and described by a German Paleontologist named Ernst Stromer in 1915. Sadly these fossils were destroyed in 1944 by a British bombing raid of Munich in world war II. At the time this was the only known specimen. More recently other specimens have been found though so far we are still waiting for a complete skeleton.
