'Science Report on Spinosaurs\r'

'DATE: January 24, 2013 relieve oneself: Carl Kallies SCIENCE REPORT: Dinosaurs †Spinosaurus The Spinosaurus is my favorite of all the dinosaurs. It was do famous in the movie Jurassic ballpark 3, one of my favorite movies. Scientists estimate Spinosaurus to be 40 to 56 feet or 12 to 17 meters from compass point to tail. Spinosaurus’ body looks a lot like that of T-Rex, however there are a couple of translucent differences. Of course, T-Rex didn’t carry that large sail-like fins made of 6-foot spines.And the motion arms of the Spinosaurus are heavier and longer than T-Rex’s arms. well-nigh scientists think this meaning that Spinosaurus used them for walking, while others plead these strong front arms could really constrict a grip on dinner. The head of Spinosaurus was longer, more(prenominal) set, and not as heavily built as that of T-Rex. Whoever named this beast wasn’t having the most creative day. Spinosaurus means â€Å"spiny lizard . ” There were large spines extending from the vertebrae along its back.And when I say large, I mean they could grow up to 6 feet long! Most researchers believe that the spines were cover with a membrane of skin that filled in the spaces between the spines, sort of the way webbing fills in the spaces between the â€Å"toes” of a duck This made a sail-like fin that could spend a penny helped control body heat. near researchers think that the sail could have been extended or collapsed at least to whatever extent. Perhaps accordingly the sail could be used to get some other dino’s attention.Spinosaurus was discovered in 1912 by a German paleontologist. Ernst Stromer found the get-go and most complete specimen in Egypt. Sadly, this specimen was done for(p) during the bombing of Munich in WWII. No Spinosaurus since Stromer’s first find have been as complete. The long narrow snout of Spinosaurus contained jaws full of sharply pointed teeth. Unlike the stea k dig serrations of T-rex teeth, Spinosaurus teeth were smooth and round.Because of the resemblance to the bite of crocodiles, where the swiftness teeth of the Spinosaurus interlock with the lower teeth, scientists think Spinosaurus energy have had a diet consisting primarily of fish. To summate weight to the fish diet theory, acid etched Fish scales have been found in Spinosaurus stomachs. term their bodies are well-adapted for meat, their particular variety may have been of the swimming type. I think that the Spinosaurus is one of the outperform dinosaurs ever discovered.\r\n'
