Sigilmassasaurus brevicollis

Description

A Spinosaurid known from remains discovered in Morroco from the Cenomanian Epoch of the Late Cretaceous.  A once enigmatic theropod, Sigilmassasaurus was known only as a "tetanuran" for the longest time.  It wasn't until recently, after study of it's vertebrae, that it was realized specifically to be a close cousin to Spinosaurus (though this has been suggested in the past).  Like it's relatives, it was primarily piscivorous.

Do you agree with the new studies of sigilmassasurus possibly being larger than spinosaurus with the vertibrae shown to be larger
