Dinosaur World
Spinosaurus aegyptiacus means “Egyptian spine lizard”, and it had giant
back spines, covered with skin, that formed a sail-fin. These spines could reach 6 feet (2M) in
height. This huge extinct sail-fin dinosaur may have regulated heat and
its body temperature with this fin, or it may have been used as a
visual status display to rivals or the opposite sex.
This meat-eating Theropod was 52-59 feet (16-18 M) long and had a height of 20 feet.
It is thought to have weighed 8-10 tons. Fossil remains have been
discovered in North Africa, in the Sahara Desert, and are from the late
Cretaceous Period about 98-95 Million Years ago. At that time, it was a
warm and wet tropical environment, unlike the desert environment of
today.
This giant land predator was considered to be larger than T-Rex and
Giganotosaurus, and longer than any discovered meat-eating dinosaur. It
is best known from Jurassic Park III movie fame, when it was pitted
against Tyrannosaurus rex, in a fight, that T-Rex lost.
Partial skeletal remains were first discovered in Bahariya Valley of
Egypt, in 1912, by Ernst Stromer, a German Paleontologist. The most
complete skeleton ever discovered was destroyed in Munich, Germany, by
allied bombing in World War II, in 1944. There have been numerous teeth
and partial cranial and skeletal fossil material discovered, in the Kem
Kem Beds, of Morocco.
This huge bipedal dinosaur had an enormous, but narrow head with long
conical teeth that had no serrations, and powerful elongated jaws to
match. It may have specialized in catching and eating large fish.
