    Comments

    Skull bones of an adult Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, consists of a right quadrate and partial quadratojugal.

     

    There is some slight lateral crushing, otherwise the bone is in wonderful condition. The quadratojugal is slightly out of place and jammed into the quadrate anteriorly.
