Spinosaurus was a large carnivorous Cretaceous period (112-93.5 Mya) dinosaur characterized by its large thin back spikes. A giant predator on both land and water, similar to the present day crocodile, fossils prove that the Spinosaurus was as larger or larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Spinosaurus had a length of 49’-51’ (15-15.6 m), a head height of 16.5’ (5 m), an overall spine height of 21.5’ (6.5 m), and a width of 5.7' (1.7 m). Spinosaurus weighed 14,100-15,900 lb (6.4-7.2 metric tons).
