Summary
| Description |
Spinosaurus skull restoration,
- • Based on the 2005 Del Sasso reconstruction. Which in turn is based on specimins MSNM V4047 (a 998 mm snoat), IPHG 1912 VIII 19 (the front half of the lower jaw), and UCPC-2 (the crest). Rear parts of the skull based on Irritator and other spinosaurs.
- • • Skin is not yet known for Spinosaurus. However, other large theropods with skin impressions show typical dinosaurian scales. (Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs 1997 Philip J. Currie, Kevin Padian) The skin details in this image are speculative but based loosely on what is known in Carnotorus. (Bonaparte, J. F., F. E. Novas, and R. A. Coria. 1990. Carnotaurus sastrei Bonaparte, the horned, lightly built carnosaur from the Middle Cretaceous of Patagonia. Contributions in Science 416:1–42.)
- • The colours and/or patterns, as with nearly all reconstructions of prehistoric creatures, are speculative.
NOTE: I often update my images. If you want to have any of my images on a website, please (if possible) don’t host/save it to the website server. I’d prefer it if the image's Wikimedia URL is used. This means that if I update an image, it will be updated on the site as well. Thanks.
