One Sagittal Crest for Spinosaurus,NOT A Pair

"What annoyed me about the JP3 Spinosaurus was the paired ridges above the
snout.Obviously,someone saw a picture of the skull in profile and mistook
the single sagittal crest for a pair of ridges like you might see on many
maniraptors."

I had not thought of it before,(since I have no idea how the top of it's
skull looked like) but he's right.Not only does Baryonyx have a single
crest,but so does the unnamed and undescribed skull I found on a fossil
replica site (and had questions on the list about,could this be Spinosaurus
aegyptiacus itself?)
