Spinosaur Tales: The Biology and Ecology of the Spinosaurs

Spinosaur Tales explores the fascinating group of spinosaurs, including the largest land predator of all time, the awe-inspiring Spinosaurus. This cutting-edge work provides a detailed analysis of the evolution, anatomy, and lifestyles of these enigmatic and charismatic carnivorous dinosaurs.

The giant sail-backed Spinosaurus is one of the most famous dinosaurs, featured in documentaries, books, and video games, and known for defeating the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex in Jurassic Park III. Spinosaurs had long, low skulls, powerfully clawed hands, some species with enormous dorsal sails, and fin-like tails. Their fossil remains are fragmentary, their appearance uncertain, and their evolutionary relationships and interpretations of ecology and behavior are widely debated.

Written by renowned paleontologists David Hone and Mark P. Witton, Spinosaur Tales brings these predators to life through stunning illustrations, offering readers the most up-to-date insights on one of the strangest and most intriguing dinosaur groups to ever walk the Earth.
