Spinosaurus, requested by @Mental_Autopsy and @shiojaesk! Colours (loosely) based on sockeye salmon. I always felt that Spinosaurids didn’t get enough love!
And no, I’m clearly not against making colorful dinosaurs. I just think it depends on what story you’re trying to promote with the species you’re illustrating.
In this case, spinosaurids evolved these huge sails and characteristic skull crests. What for? Probs display.
“Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with a spinosaurid.”
“Then what about side by side with a friend?”
“...aye. I could do that.”

@ZeeZeeMooMoo Wildly off, as it turns out! Spinosaurus was thought to be a carnosaur like allosaurus and kin, when it was actually a derived enough megalosauroid to be considered a crown member of its own clade; the spinosauridae. Pictured is an older reconstruction next to one from 2017.
Gift for @hibiscushydra of our spinosaurids!
Spinosaurus and Baryonyx bbys! 🦖🐟
I hope you like it!! 🌺
#DechartDecember Day 7 (Night) 😊 - Reuploaded since I forgot goofy spinosaurid teefs.
A suchomimus enjoys a rare peaceful night. I realised after that it was a little too brightly lit but okay just pretend this is Tamriel. 😅

Introducing Sushosaurus, a new type of spinosaurid found in the Rumathian mountain range's highland swamps. This large carnivore will be debuting in Carnivores: Fallen Kings!

Unique fossils of the spinosaurids Oxalaia and Irritator are probably lost in the fire of the National Museum in Rio De Janeiro 🇧🇷

Today’s quick sketch. Baryonyx walkeri fishing lunch. Like other Spinosaurids, Baryonyx had a very elongated snout and powerful arms with very long claws. Very different from the Baryonyx that appeared recently in the #JurassicWorldFallenKingdom trailer #paleoart #dinosaurs

#buildabetterfaketheropod Instd of generic Indominus rex, why not Cetaceasaurus? Fully-aquatic spinosaurid off-shoot
