that’s really big! I’ve only found one ammonite before even though I’ve been hunting for ones like that! my one is small though.

did you find it buy?

or buy

@smudge-smith neither. it was a gift from a geologist friend. the small ones were purchased.

nice

that’s alot!

is that in America?

Yes, it’s at Utah state which is in America.

sniffs… I’m in the UK. liked the video though!

I’ve never been to the UK but I bet it cool and has sweet rocks!!

it’s amazing! especially as I live on iow… one of the best places in Europe to find fossils and rocks etc. I’ve had gifts of rocks from America and their amazing ill post some soon.

I’m glad to hear that and I can’t wait to see the posts!! I would be happy to send you some Logan, Utah rocks if you ever wanted!

haha! I got a picture in a book of a fish eating another fish and dying because its food was too big😂🐠🐟

haha!

thanks… maybe not as cool as a bipedal theropod but nonetheless nice.

does this mean it’s a dinosaur? nothosaurus had more reptile fins than fish fins like spino but is classed as marine reptile. also I know spino can’t breathe underwater but ichyosaurs couldn’t.????????????????dino or marine?????????

@smudge-smith spinosaurus is still a dinosaur. it’s just the first known aquatic one

you must also note that Marine Reptiles aren’t an actual group, like dinosaurs. just a generic term for reptiles that live in the ocean. a sea turtle or a saltwater croc can be called marine reptiles, but they actually belong to the turtle group and the crocodile group

I know I was just using a broad range because I wasn’t sure (if spino wasn’t a Dino) what group to put it in

but thanks

If it lived mostly in water would it have feather coverings?

now in 2020 there was yet another remodel, showing it with a salamander like tail for swimming

@a-trilobite of all the theropods, the spinosaurs are always the ones that paleoartists are still unsure over whether or not to show with feathers. if they did have them, they were probably like that of penguins and otters. waterproof and hydrodynamic

@smudge-smith are you saying that there’s people who still think it was bipedal? I’m pretty sure that the 2014 remodel has been considered accurate for half a decade

NOBODY argues that anymore. that’s old news

*also, ornitholestes didn’t really have a nose crest

I know ornitholestes didn’t have a nose crest @leonardo-miranda but it was the first image on Google I could find(that had a background)

ummm… @leonardo-miranda I am doing more research about the 2014 model mainly because when I saw a viedo about it a few months ago I was so put off as before spino was my FAVOURITE Dino. also it doesn’t look as cool., 😂one day I’ll admit… 🙄

admittedly, it’s not as badass as Jurassic Park made us think. Still, it’s the biggest theropod dinosaur ever

l think nanotyrannus is now thought to have just been a juvenile Tyrannosaurus

I know that also I was nano was baby I just still used to love it when I was younger so I can’t get Iver my sadness😭

over

well, there’s always the proceratosaurs

I guess…
