## Caption

Photo by paoloverzone / Fossil-filled pastry boxes line the wall of a home near Taouz, Morocco, for visitors, researchers, and would-be buyers to examine. The isolated bones offer a glimpse into the biodiversity of the Kem Kem ecosystem that Spinosaurus called home.

Spinosaurus was one of the largest predatory dinosaurs of all time. It's named after the elongated dorsal spines that supported an enormous “sail” of skin. In contrast to other dinosaurs–predominantly terrestrial–a long list of anatomical features are indicative of Spinosaurus being adapted to live in freshwater, like crocodiles and hippopotamuses. #spinosaurus
