some theropod questions



Hi all,

I read the discussion about Spinosaurus with much interest, but one thing
mentioned on the list made me wonder: What's about this 2 metres skull of
Spinosaurus found in Morocco? I've never heard of this before. Are there any
pics or more detailed informations?

Other Spinosaurus-"problem": the teeth. Last year I was in contact with Paul
Sereno and asked him via e-Mail about the identification of Spinosaurs-teeth. He
answered that very well preserved teeth had fine serrations. I really have seen
north african teeth looking like crocodile teeth with fine serrations. But
other sources say that you just can't make differences between croc-teeth and
Spino-teeth, because both had no serrations at all. Are there new infos about
that question? I think it's a relatively important aspect to solve the problem
on what Spinosaurus was feeding.

Third and last question: Is the (relatively) newly discovered giant theropod
found in Patagonia by Currie et al. now named and scientifically described?

Thanks a lot in advance for any infos about these questions. Within the next
weeks I will give you new informations about german dino-discoveries...

Greetings from Germany,
Thomas
