Rewriting the history of dinosaurs...

In recent years, paleontology has yielded fascinating discoveries about dinosaurs, including a new study confirming that Spinosaurus is the largest known carnivorous dinosaur. First discovered in 1915 by Ernst Stromer, this bipedal predator, which lived about 100 million years ago, dethroned Giganotosaurus, whose remains were discovered 11 years ago. Scientists emphasize that despite the lack of complete fossils, the new analysis suggests Spinosaurus may have been longer and heavier than the previous king of dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex.

The age of dinosaurs ended millions of years ago, but paleontologists are still trying to understand the enormous diversity and diverse immensity of these creatures.

Described in last month's report, Spinosaurus is now officially the largest carnivorous dinosaur known to science. This bipedal beast effectively burst onto the fossil scene in 1915, when a specimen was presented by German paleontologist Ernst Stromer. He concluded that it was a theropod (described as a bipedal carnivore) larger than Tyrannosaurus rex. Unfortunately, the authentic Spinosaurus remains were destroyed by bombs dropped on Germany in 1944. Thus, Tyrannosaurus rex reigned for decades as the great king, the carnivorous land beast.

Then, 11 years ago, the remains of a gigantosaurus were discovered.

Now, Cristiano Dal Sasso of the Civil Museum of Natural History in Milan, Spain, says that Giganotosaurus has been dethroned following the discovery of a new Spinosaurus skull.
