Spinosaurus is one of the most iconic predators of the dinosaur age, originating from the river systems of Cretaceous North Africa around 100 million years ago. Known for its extraordinary size, it may have been the longest carnivorous dinosaur ever discovered, reaching lengths close to 49 feet. Its crocodile-like skull and specialized teeth point to a diet rich in fish, setting it apart from other giant theropods. The towering sail along its back, formed by elongated spines, gives Spinosaurus a truly unmistakable silhouette in the fossil record.
Please be aware of the nature of fossils:
Being buried underground for millions of years under tons of pressure can be tough. No fossil comes out of the ground completely intact or perfect. Most fossils have been restored in some way, while others are altered by humans to improve their appearance. The workers in Morocco do a highly professional job of unearthing and preserving these natural treasures; however, natural cracks are often visible on the surface. These cracks are part of the fossil's natural beauty and are not considered flaws.
