Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. T. Carrano et al. 2012Spinosaurid with: (1) elongate posterolateral premaxillary process that nearly excludes maxilla from external naris; (2) posterior dorsal, sacral and anterior caudal vertebral neural spines expanded anteroposteriorly and dorsoventrally; and (3) hook-shaped radial ectepicondyle (all from Sereno et al. 1998).
