What we know about Spinosaurus
Spinosaurus lived in North Africa during the Cretaceous, roughly 100 to 94 million years ago. It was a large theropod with elongated jaws, conical teeth, dense bones, and a paddle-like tail. Fossil evidence supports a semi-aquatic lifestyle, although details of how it moved and hunted continue to be studied.
- Its back carried tall neural spines that formed a sail-like structure.
- Fossils have been found in Morocco and Egypt, with important evidence from ancient river and coastal environments.
- Length estimates are debated; it was among the largest known predatory dinosaurs, but exact comparisons remain uncertain.
Coloring and printing tips
- Print at 100% on US Letter; select fit to page or shrink to fit on A4.
- Colored pencils suit the fish scales and reeds, while crayons fill the water quickly.
- Choose 65-90 lb paper or 90-160 gsm. Cardstock handles markers better.
- Layer blue-gray water, green reeds, and a bold contrasting sail for a clear focal point.
