Spinosaurs are super wacky. They have some of the most interesting anatomies of the carnivorous theropod dinosaurs, they have the worst fossil record, and were some of the largest meat-eating land lubbers to ever live. Despite all that, they are still missing from a handful of countries and continents where they should theoretically be. None are known from North America. None from Antarctica. And none from Australia. Well, that was until a funny little vertebra was found that may hold the key to a whole new look at Mesozoic Australian fauna.
