Suchomimus (meaning "crocodile mimic") is a genus of spinosaurid dinosaur that lived between 125 and 112 million years ago in what is now Niger, North Africa, during the Aptian to early Albian stages of the Early Cretaceous Period.
Suchomimus is the only spinosaur known to have preserved a furcula (wishbone), which shows that spinosaurs had a V-shaped furcula. [39] Spinosaurid hands had three fingers, typical of tetanurans , and wielded an enlarged ungual on the first finger (or "thumb"), which formed the bony core of a keratin claw.
Life restoration of Sarcosuchus imperator. Sarcosuchus is a distant relative of living crocodilians, with fully grown individuals estimated to have reached up to 9 to 9.5 m (29.5 to 31.2 ft) in total length and 3.45 to 4.3 metric tons (3.80 to 4.74 short tons) in weight. [2]
Megalosauroidea (meaning 'great/big lizard forms') is a superfamily (or clade) of tetanuran theropod dinosaurs that lived from the Middle Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous period. The group is defined as Megalosaurus bucklandii and all taxa sharing a more recent common ancestor with it than with Allosaurus fragilis or Passer domesticus . [ 2 ]
Given that it was named first, Cristatusaurus lapparenti has priority over Suchomimus tenerensis in the case that they become synonymized. [18] In a 2017 study, Marcos Sales and Cesar Schultz compared the holotype of Cristatusaurus (MNHN GDF 366) to the referred snout of Suchomimus (MNN GDF501). Both of them exhibit a narrow rim across the top ...
The Virginia school even hosted ESPN’s flagship college football broadcast, GameDay, for an earlier contest. But those wins haven’t come cheap. More than half of the $30 million that James Madison spent on football from 2010 to 2014 came from student fees, according to annual filings with the NCAA.
