Summary

Spinosaurids had powerful enough jaws and teeth to go after large prey, just not sharp enough to take out bites. Plus, more on the aquatic spinosaurs debate, and more spinosaur updates.

Dinosaur of the day Tachiraptor, a small carnivorous theropod that was found in the mountains of Venezuela.

In dinosaur news this week:

Spinosaurids had the skull and teeth to go after large prey
Instead of crocodile mimics, maybe spinosaurs should be considered phytosaur mimics
Spinosaurus had at least one other spinosaurine living along side it in the Kem Kem beds in Morocco
A tooth in Thailand that was long thought to be from an ichthyosaur was actually from a spinosaur
