Description

Based on the holotype and paratype specimens listed in Sereno et al 1998. Aditional information after Baryonyx, Irritator, and Spinosaurus. The neck is based on the re arrangement of the presacral vertebrae from Evers et al 2015 adapted to the size of the few cervicals preserved in Suchomimus listed in Sereno 1998, and came out shorter than the neck the mounts of the animal usually have. The tail is cross scaled using Suchomimus, Spinosaurus, and two Baryonyx specimens (the holotype; and a referred specimen from Portugal; ). Mass estimation and top view will come out soon.
