Spinosaurus dinosaur
Spinosaurus dinosaur. Artwork of a Spinosaurus dinosaur standing in shallow water on the coast. This was the longest carnivorous dinosaur, reaching a length of up to 16 metres. It had a long, narrow head, similar to that of a crocodile, and it is thought to have fed on fish. The sail on its back may have been used for temperature regulation or in mating displays. Spinosaurus inhabited what is now northern Africa between 95 and 80 million years ago, in the late (upper) Cretaceous period

African Carnivore Carnivorous Coast Coastal Cretaceous Dinosaur Fishing Horizontal Late Longest Piscivore Piscivorous Sail Spinosaurus Upper Palaeontology
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Spinosaurus dinosaur, an apex predator of its time. Standing gracefully in shallow water on the coast, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of this prehistoric creature. With a remarkable length of up to 16 meters, it held the title for being the longest carnivorous dinosaur known to man. Its long and narrow head resembles that of a crocodile, hinting at its piscivorous nature. It is believed that this formidable predator primarily fed on fish, making it a skilled coastal hunter. The striking sail adorning its back served multiple purposes; scientists speculate it could have been used for temperature regulation or as an impressive display during mating rituals. Inhabiting what is now northern Africa during the late Cretaceous period between 95 and 80 million years ago, Spinosaurus left its mark on history with its unique characteristics and dominance in its ecosystem. This illustration transports us back in time to witness this awe-inspiring creature roaming along ancient shores. The Science Photo Library has expertly captured every detail in this horizontal image – from the intricate features of Spinosaurus to the vastness of the ocean behind it. This artwork serves as a testament to our fascination with paleontology and allows us to appreciate these incredible creatures that once roamed our planet millions of years ago.
