Spinosaurs aren't Tyrannosaurids, right?

Right. They're in their own group.

Spinosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, Allosaurus, Giganotosaurus, etc.

How about we make this thread favorite carnivorous dinosaurs that aren't tyrannosaurids AND dromaeosaurs (raptors). Otherwise this'll turn into like the tenth raptor thread on /an/ in the past couple weeks.

Posting Yangchuanosaurus to reinforce the new rule.

my fave? The largest, most visually striking predator dinosaur ever. 60 feet long, 22 feet tall, a head 8 feet long, sail 7 feet tall and massive arms tipped with three powerful claws.

He may not be the tyrant lizard king, but Spinosaurus puts the "terrible" in "terrible lizard".

Liopleurodons are awesome, but not dinosaurs.

OP here, I think I'll expand the topic and say ANY carnivore from the Mesozoic is allowed, as long as it isn't a tyrannosaurid or dromaeosaur.

What about Iguanodons? They lived in a different time and place from Spinosaurus, so Spino was especially terrible at killing those.

Spinosaurs as a whole (including Baryonyx, Suchomimus) evolved from megalosaurs, which had been driven into a secondary carnivore niche by the more successful carnosaurs by the Late Jurassic. As a result, some megalosaurs in coastal regions began to adapt to the fact that they'd become beach-combing scavengers and evolved longer, heavier arms and long, narrow (comparatively fragile) jaws to help in snapping up fish and other coastal and river critters. Thus we get spinosaurs, which excelled at being the dinosaurian answer to grizzley bears, but lacked at hunting the sort of big game Jurassic Park 3 made it seem they could.

Even if they weren't big, badass killers, though, they're still cool. Have an Irritator, which also happens to have the most awesome dinosaur name ever.

Spinosaurs are only slightly less awesome than TROODON.

I think he was talking about the Iguanodon bits they found with the type specimen of Bary. Prolly scavenged, if anything I know, but I don't think taking out a occasional weak Iguanadont is out of the question for Spinosaurid. And Ouranosaurus lived at about the same time and place roughly as Spinosaurus, so there were Iguanadonts around from him to munch on.

What about Urinator? (I don't know if it was ever made official, though.)

>>151826
Spinosaurus wasn't built for killing large prey. Its arms were almost useless against anything else than fish because of the way they were positioned, and its skull was long, narrow and relatively weak. If anything, it may have killed juveniles that strayed away from the herd. Battling even a weakened adult Ouranosaurus could have been risky.

I thought those remains were from juvenile Iguanodons.

There aren't any. Barely anything has been published on the beast yet, and with no proper skeletal reconstruction available, good restorations are going to be damn hard to find.
