Sarcosaurus diagram of known material: reconstruction based on basal Ceratosaurs (such as Berberosaurus and Saltriovenator). The Skull was made to look more generic and less like more derived Ceratosaurs such as Ceratosaurus. "Liassaurus", referred to "cf. Sarcosaurus woodi" and is smaller than the holotype: material in light grey is preserved, but to what extent is uncertain as it is not figured.

Faites place (beaucoup d'espace... sauvegardez davantage... continuez... continuez... backbackbackback) pour le puissant Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus ! Le Spinosaurus était un dinosaure carnivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui l'Afrique, notamment en Égypte, au Maroc et au Niger, à la fin du Crétacé, il y a environ 97 à 95 millions d'années.  C'était un animal massif, le plus gros individu connu mesurant peut-être 49 pieds (environ 15 m) de long du museau à la queue à l'âge adulte, ce qui en fait le plus long dinosaure carnivore connu de la science.  La génération
