New sabre-crested Spinosaurus species named from desert dinosaur fossils | Natural History Museum

‘Astonishing’ fossils from Niger have been named as Spinosaurus mirabilis.

A NEW SPINOSAURUS HAS BEEN FOUND!!!

And it's beautiful!

It's a new species from 95 million years ago now know as the Spinosaurus Mirabilis and the most noticable difference is the thinner skull as well as the crest on top.

Suchomimus no more?

A recent study published a week or so ago has highlighted the neuromuscular system found in the snouts of Spinosaurids and highlights their possible functions, but it also managed to do something that no one on the internet expected: By suggesting that the genus name of Suchomimus tenerensis, which was described in 1998, should be dropped in favor of that of “Cristatusaurus” which was described from much more fragmentary remains, as the latter name came first according to the rules of the ICZN. If that turns out to be true, it would mean that the former name may turn out to be dubious and treated as a synonym of the latter, and that has not stopped many vocal corners of social media to lament the “death” of Suchomimus and call for more scientific studies to prove its validity. And with the internet becoming increasingly opinionated about dinosaurs these days, it seems that a flame war has already started between factions who support the recent study’s decisions and those who don’t, but only time will tell if either side wins in the near future…but what are your thoughts about this matter? Let me know in the comments section below!

Sobeck the spinosaurus and his kids, from Walking With Dinosaurs 2025. I didn't really like this show, but his episode was definitely one of the better ones imo. Maybe I just have a soft spot for theropod dilfs, idk.

Also I came up with spino being a good dad first BBC! I demand compensation!

Been working on some paleoart between commission work since I leave for SVP in 2 weeks and dinosaurs are understandably on the brain

Here's a Riparovenator hunting, inkwash and inkpen on a sketchbook that's probably meant for neither lol
