Instead of an in-depth analysis of the latest paper about Spinosaurus, it’s time to examine why this dinosaur is such a controversial subject for paleontologists.
When the fossils of a small sauropod were discovered in 1976, they seemed to be nondescript. Little did the paleontologists know that they had unearthed the strangest sauropod to ever live.
Over 100 years ago, a monster was discovered in the deserts of Egypt. Only recently has the elusive theropod become a staple of paleontology.
