** The book correctly states that ''Spinosaurus'' is closely related to ''Baryonyx'', and would have shared the latter's crocodile-like skull rather than having the allosaur or tyrannosaur-like head it was commonly depicted with at the time. Unfortunately, Paul neglects to provide a skeletal or illustration reflecting ''Spinosaurus'' as a ''Baryonyx''-like theropod with a sail, which would have been far ahead of its time and perhaps even influential, before it would be cemented by the 1998 discovery of the snout which got incorporated into ''Film/JurassicParkIII''.
