The Tail of Spinosaurus - A 2020 Revelation

Spinosaurus is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating and bizarre non-avian dinosaurs, and a new paper published by paleontologist Nizar Ibrahim and colleagues has revealed that Spinosaurus was even more aquatic than we had previously thought, even with features such as the high nostril positioning, short legs, and dense bones, possessing a fin-like tail which would have allowed Spinosaurus to propel itself through the water. Debate over the tail was of course not far behind, and this video will discuss some of the peculiar features of the tail that have yet to be thoroughly solved, and will likely be discussed for quite some time. I hope you enjoy!

I have my reconstruction of spinosaurus has a non-fossilized creature living on it. they are a species of rhamphorhynchoid that managed to survive to the cretaceous it's like those birds that eat parasites my idea is that spinosaurus would spend some of its time in the mud it could be resting or cooling down during the dry seasons which would also bring it to land to scavenge but it still has to defend itself against Carcharodontosaurus anyway the mud would contain a kind of parasitic worm that lives under the skin of Spinosaurus and its very close relatives the pterosaurs which spend most of there lives on the spinosaurus feed on the worms as they can feel them crawling in its skin

Spinosaurus is becoming more and more to be one of my favorite theropods. Its history of being understood is arguably the most compelling story in Paleontology. From a generic land carnivore with a sail, to an oversized Baryonyx, the controversial quadruped, now we're getting ever so closer to understanding the animal. It challenges us to think differently when we think of theropods now. I sometimes see people complain that it's not cool anymore, in which they couldn't be more wrong. Spinosaurus for as weird as it is, it was great at doing its role in the Kem Kem ecosystem. I can only wonder if its phylogeny will make us change how Spinosaurids are related to each other.

@seandewar47 4 года назад

Can you do a video discussing whether we should or shouldn't reconstruct Extinct species to look like modern species? Like how Mark Witton designed Therozinosaurus to look like a Pigeon and how the Documentary Dinosaur Revolution reconstructed Their Gigantoraptor on a Temmerick's Tragopan down to even having the same fleshy waddle and horns.

@Kikizilla101 4 года назад

Sean Dewar I dont think there is a right or wrong way to do it. Its all about context. If they are trying to make an accurate reconstruction then they should probably go the safest route. But artists have a liberty to be creative with their designs. We have abstract art of modern animals too, and I don’t see nearly as much criticism in the way of those ones.

@seandewar47 4 года назад

@Kikizilla101 4 года назад

This was an excellent video! And you really did a good job diving into almost all the criticisms of the study, and you did it in depth. However, I think one thing you ought to have brought up was the older study of the oxygen isotopes of Spinosaurus’ teeth, which revealed it was not only less aquatic than crocodilians, but somehow even less aquatic than even other spinosaurs, which is very very odd, but is a severe contradiction to this “aquatic” lifestyle. Also the actual TAIL bones are not as described on Sailfish and Marlins, and even in your video you are focusing on the dorsal fin, which is not only the wrong part of the body, but it is also dorsally mobile separately from the body so they don’t make for a solid example for tail vertebrae that support Spinosaurus’ tail flexibility. This is a very very interesting find, and i cant wait for us to learn more, but I personally think that this “fully aquatic pursuit predator” is an extremely premature conclusion that has quite a bit of contradicting evidence. Keep up the fantastic work dude!

@northropi2027 4 года назад

While he zoomed in on the dorsal, I think the argument was intended for the rays in the caudal fin. Other than compliance, the spines supporting the fin breaking under its own drag has been brought up a lot. While I'm not sure it scales up perfectly, I think the point was that ray-finned fish don't have this problem.

@Kikizilla101 4 года назад

Northropi Thats a valid point. That may have been the intention there. My point still stands with those particular fin vertebrae however, because sailfish are able to move each of these vertebrae independently as they can fold them in and fan them out, act more as a separate appendage. So while the comparison still is not a solid one, but I do understand why he might had decided to focus on the dorsal vertebrae. Though I would still point out that he verbally refers to the tails of these fish, so that part can still be questioned.

@jasper3706 4 года назад

You also have to wonder what the point of that tail shape would be if it weren't aquatic. Also, assuming we're talking about the same study, I think you're somewhat misrepresenting it by saying it concluded it was "less aquatic" than other animals. That study specifically supports the semi-aquatic lifestyle of spinosaurus.

@@HenrythePaleoGuy Indeed, also the short leg aspect of Spinosaurus is still a debate and in personal opinion I believe it was both, switching when near water to get closer to fish while being on shore, as the tail shows, it most likely couldn't keep up with some fish, but being slow and unmoving allows it to trick fish to coming close, though I still think it hunted in water, the bones just don't seem dense enough to hold such weight for so long, that's my opinion from what I've seen, yes Spinosaurus had denser bones than most, but I don't think the wrist and knuckles could hold the what, 23 ton animal, though, it just makes sense to me that something like that would switch as it most likely needed to use it's claws in occasionally defense from some other Predators during the droughts as it's bite is weak for what we know, but if it bit down, it's conical teeth never let go as it's built for fishing, but I love what Nizar Ibrahim has found out, I plan to keep following as they find more out of this Croco-Duck of a dinosaur.

Great comprehension of existing data. Informative and well-done. Only thing missing: explanation of the big "sail" on its back. Dinosaurs could create their own body temperature, but cold water was a challenge. The sail contained many blood vessels where the animal could control their diameter. This way, while the animal was mostly under water, the sail above water could collect sun heat and give it to the blood (reduced blood vessel diameter)., or when the animal was on land it could also be used to release too much body heat (expanded blood vessel diameter), probably now looking reddish and less dark. The same strategy was used by other animals much earlier in Earth's history. Sails also functioned to impress and intimidate.

Considering the swimming stability purpose of the sail on this dinosaur's back strongly implied by this new evidence, do we need to take another look at Dimetrodon?

@inexister7371 3 года назад

I don't think this implies the sail is for stability. Crocs are fine without a sail. But I do wonder if Dimetrodon were more agile than we are made to think. The idea of thermoregulation with the sail has lost traction in favor of sexual display, so maybe they didn't just sit around catching rays all the time. It may sound silly but I still like one of the original concepts of it working like an actual sail. Imagine how useful that would be, getting close for ambush attacks without even stirring up the water at all. Maybe that would have worked with both Spino and Dimetrodon sails?

@seanbragger7035 3 года назад

@@inexister7371 Crocs probably aren't a good example as they rely heavily on their 'death roll' to end prey resistance so a fin/sail on their back would therefor interfere with getting to eat. They are clearly not occupying the right niche to gain any advantage - they specialize in ambushing land animals from the water, they are not chasing down fast or nimble aquatic animals in the water.

Ok, I know you're more of an expert than I am, but the spino tail is in no way similar to a crocodile tail. If anything, it's more similar to a newts tail. There isn't a single feature in spinos tail that is comparable to a Croc tail....

@HenrythePaleoGuy 4 года назад

The tail is similar in function, not necessarily in its anatomy. Newt skeletons also don't show the crests that the tails possess, and therefore, the tail of Spinosaurus is different from even these animals. Anatomically, it is very different and unique, although the function of the tail would have been similar.

Shame that Jurassic World: Dominion, isn't going to pay attention to the science. Just look at the models from Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom, paleontology advanced so much from the Jurassic Park films. Yet outdated depictions were still used. It is a real same with the Jurassic franchise still calls their creatures "dinosaurs". Despite the fact that they're chimeras. Far too many people believe the dinos from Jurassic franchise to be fact, blinding people from reality "old world blues" style. To the point that you can't use the excuse that hey are "just a films" because they have done serious real word damage on dinosaurs. Also For the people who say that crocodilian or newt tails would fail if they had the design that Spinosaurus had. Arguing that since the tail got thin quickly, and the vertebra spines overlapping each other, compromising flexibility in said species. Keep in mind that just because Spinosaurus had many crocodilian like features, does not mean that is the only living animal we should compare it to. Only analyzing the bones without taking into account the connective, muscle, nervous, and epithelial tissues, is not a reliable way to determine the range of movement. The features of its new tail are very akin to that of active swimming, pelagic, ray finned fish like sailfish. In short this new tail discovery more closely matches designs some of the oceans fastest swimming predators, rather than crocodilian and newt tails.

@HenrythePaleoGuy 4 года назад

It most definitely has had a big impact when it comes to dinosaurs and their perception. More studies will definitely have to be done to truely determine the effectiveness of the tail, since current displays of its effectiveness don't take into account what you stated above. A remarkable animal indeed. :)

@KhanMann66 4 года назад

Agreed with JP franchise having serious negative effects on dinosaur to the public. Many people see dinosaurs as mythical creatures and not as once living breathing creatures.

@b3ugaz78 4 года назад

Also: "The DNA is altered" excuse is a good *in-film* excuse. But because jurassic world is so popular and doesn't at least say that their dinosaurs are fake, this happens. Don't get me wrong, I like the designs, but they have done damage. And I'm not going to say anything about the first 3 films, because, apart of the Raptors, they had semi accurate dinosaurs for their time. Also they are much better films but whatever.
