A subadult #Spinosaurus wanders into the territory of a larger, more aggressive male and faces the consequences. Haven't seen much palaeoart of intraspecific fights featuring spinosaurids so this was fun to draw.

More memes instead of palaeoart, I'm totally not procrastinating.
But for real, spinosaurids are the best and if you disagree you suck and are also wrong 😤😤😤 https://t.co/9mDBVj8EWP
So yeah, I decided to hop on the bandwagon with some of my friends and made a dinosona too (a spinosaurid, to be exact)
Nothing special here, just an absolute nervous mess of a dinosaur (like me) lol
And had you heard of Angela Milner, who alongside Alan Charig named Baryonyx, a fossil that changed our view of the spinosaurid dinosaur family? Join Angela as she explains the importance of this fish-eating predator’s discovery

Ac a oeddech chi wedi clywed am Angela Milner? Alan Charig, enwodd hi y Baryonyx, ffosil a newidiodd ein barn am y teulu deinosor spinosaurid? Ymunwch gyda Angela wrth iddi egluro pwysigrwydd darganfyddiad yr ysglyfaethwr pysgota hwn

So coming into part 2 of the PRIDE dinosaurs series is the popular Spinosaurid, Baryonyx representing the non-binary flag
Quick sketch of #Cristatusaurus lapparenti during a misty morning, with some speculative filaments and a fanciful head crest. #paleoart #spinosaurid #dinosaurart #naturalhistory #digitalpainting #theropod #palaeontology
Irritator, a Spinosaurid who got its name from the irritating hours it took paleontologists to fix the tampered skull they got from fossil poachers.

More material of Irritator was discovered giving insight on its appearance where it even had a sail, akin to other spinosaurids. Irritator was estimated to have measured 20 to 26 feet in length and weighed 1 ton, making it a small spinosaurid. Art by @FredtheDinoman
The virgin Tyrannosaurids: Some were big and bulky, some were slender and fast, but overall the same concept.
The chad Spinosaurids:
Skeletal diagram of Ichthyovenator laosensis I created for its @Wikipedia article. Yep! Turns out that like its later relative #Spinosaurus, Ichthy also had a tail fin! Definitely been a great year for spinosaurid palaeontology 📖. #sciart #fossils #dinosaurs #paleontology
Pada tahun 1984, spesimen hampir sempurna spinosaurid baru ditemukan di lohong tanah liat Smokejacks di Surrey, England. Ia dinamakan Baryonyx walkeri. Fosil ni akhirnya jadi panduan kepada ahli paleontologi untuk membina semula spesies spinosaurid lain termasuk Spinosaurus.
Nouveau post sur le #Spinosaurus dans le Petit Carnet Paléo de @PLavaud_Mazan !

Breaking news! The Loch Ness monster re-evaluated as a spinosaurid! 🤪 #ifitswimsitsaspino
Extra food for thought on Spinosaurus, the caudal material we have from other spinosaurids doesn't really preclude a similar condition...
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.”
