Description
Too much, and out of that too much bogus, has been said about the animal known as Spinosaurus aegyptiacus.Here I depicted it laying on land, close to the water. I don't speculate about its locomotion for now.
That's what we have for the moment and actually it's pretty impressive.
Based on dal Sasso et al., 2005 and Ibrahim et al., 2014; neglecting their proposed spine arrangement in favour of Cau, Hartman and Headden.
Happy waiting for the monograph!

İts legs are too much small even if the animal is aquatic; or you draw as more smalled version?
However do you know about the Subadult/Juvenile and inaccurate chimera theroies ?

Nie eine schlechte Idee, sich in Neutralität zu halten, wenn es um offene Fragen geht.

Ist aber eigl gar keine schlechte Idee, dass sich Spinosaurus irgendwie rutschend oder schleifend an Land fortbewegt haben könnte. Denn mir fällt wirklich kein Weg ein, wie sich ein Spinosaurus mit diesem postulierten Bauplan quadruped oder biped terrestrisch fortbewegt haben könnte. aber generell habe ich irgendwie das Gefühl, dass wir in zehn Jahren über dieses Spino-Konzept herzlich lachen werden.

Genau das, oder zumindest ein Teil davon, ist auch mein Problem. Ich will eigentlich einen zeichnen, aber würde mich zu sehr ärgern, wenn es am Folgetag auf einmal ganz anders aussieht.

I wonder how they arrived at their sail shape? Based on the photo on Cau's site, the neural spines of the "neotype" (it might not actually meet the requirements for a neotype) don't give any indication of the sail shape.
It is also worth pointing out that one guy claimed that Ibrahim's sail shape goes against what Stromer found. Forgot the name of the blog that claimed that but I think it was "Paleontological Thoughts" or something.

They just assembled the bones they found and the bones Stromer found and immediately traced the sail outline from that.

They never provided justification for it in the text. Why was the tall spine placed in a sacral position? Personally I think it's more likely that it's a caudal spine.

Yeah, that's the theory by Jaime Headden (might have gotten their name wrong). I agree pretty much.

Cau, Hartman and Headden actually.

''Spinobot, assemble!''
*JP3 Spinosaurus appears*
''No, that isn't quite right... Reassemble!''
*Planet Dinosaur Spino appears*
''Not yet... Again!''
*Four-legged Spino appears*
''I honestly give up...''

The legs look even shorter than those in the new paper.

Haha! But just because of the angle and foreshortening.

Isn't it very difficult for theropods to spread their legs out like that due to the construction of their femur articulation?
