It was a theropod dinosaur and may be the largest and longest of its kind, weighing up to 6 tons and measuring 49 feet long. Currently, the Spinosaurus is believed to have been the world's largest carnivorous dinosaur, outweighing the Tyrannosaurus Rex. It had a long, narrow skull that resembled a crocodile—just much larger—and long spines extending upward from its vertebrae, forming a sail likely covered with skin. The name 'Spinosaurus' means 'spine lizard.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1250\/0441\/files\/Spinosaurus_New_2__11zon.jpg?v=1752007907\" alt=\"\" width=\"1258\" height=\"816\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q-YsgSsFTeI\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr id=\"horizontalrule\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #b45f06;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease be aware of the nature of fossils:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr id=\"horizontalrule\"\u003e","brand":"SAID 26","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51842147615000,"sku":"06MCC139","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1250\/0441\/files\/5U8A1401_9b231fe1-5313-4c86-b9e9-2d0fe5ab8b08.jpg?v=1774141374","url":"https:\/\/www.fossilageminerals.com\/products\/1-8-spinosaurus-fossil-tooth-100-million-years-old-cretaceous-dinosaur-coa-stand-06mcc139","provider":"Fossil Age Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
