A new study sheds light on which animal groups evolved from life on land to living in the water again. Spinosaurus, one of the most debated dinosaurs in paleontology, may have spent the vast majority of its time submerged rather than simply hunting along the water’s edge, according to an analysis of how extinct vertebrates [...]

The method can conclude from bone measurements with more than 90 percent accuracy on fins and a strong bond to the water. New [...] The post Spinosaurus probably spent most…
