Well, apperantly the spines above Spinosaurus's hips are heavily fused, which I think suggests it was for muscular attachments. Really damn big ones. The muscles which pull the thigh backwards attach to the tail, so the ones connecting to it's spines should pull the thigh foreward. Thus, it was probably pretty much for dragging very large things out of the water. Possibly even huge crocodilians like Kaprosuchus and even Sarcosuchus. |

Since neither Boar Croc or Super Croc lived with Spino, I imagine it would be more useful for giant sawfish. |

In addition, we knew that Spinosaurus had to haul giant fnucking sawfishes out of the water, so they had to be very powerful.![]() See those fused vertebral bones over the pelvis? This thing didn't have a sail... Edited by Pond, Apr 5 2012, 03:33 PM.

I know, but I would've thought there was some kind of large crocodile living alongside it. How big are said Sawfish? What are they called? |

Oh shit. I thought fishes alongside Spino were at max about 20... 30 feet seems enough for sure, heh. |

Spinosaurus, to put it simply, had access to some real good seafood (or riverfood, if you wanna be technical). |

I am in debt to you. I've always wanted to know the formal names for the giant coelacanths and lungfish. |
