Re: [Dinosaur Question]

[Caleb Lewis <terminator2029@usa.net>]

Sir,

    If it had a sail down the middle of its back, then it was a Spinosaur. Did
the show say what locality it was from? 
   BTW (this is for the list), how, by the time of name, does one distinguish
between Family Class, Genera, etc. ?



                                  Hope that answers your question,
                                  Caleb Lewis
