I used the snout of Angaturama. I don't know much
about the specimen, but from what I've heard in various descriptions of the
snout, it seems to have to have an unusual ridge at the tip. I also believe
Irritator and Angaturama to be one and the same species
(individual??). I also realized that some features in my reconstruction may
still be slightly exaggerated such as the crest, even though it has been
reduced to the normal spinosaurid crest.
