Let's just all take a second to remember the German paleontologist Ernst Freiherr Stromer von Reichenbach. He was the first to discover Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, a semi aquatic carnivore that is approx. 49-52 ft in length and ~7 1/2  tonnes, with spines around 5.4 ft high. Today in 1944, hundreds of allied bombers dropped thousands of bombs on Munich, which was where his research was held. The museum was destroyed and so was the only remains of the world's largest carnivorous dinosaur. Spinosaurus was lost to history. These are one of the few surviving image of Stromer's Spinosaurus skeleton. While Stromer died in 1952, his journals and photographs survive, but without skeletons to grace exhibit halls or fossils to study his dinosaurs are overshadowed by others. He was essentially forgotten. But let's remember his amazing contributions to the field of paleontology. And shout out to Nizar Ibrahim who helped revive Stromer's legacy.
