RE: ANDREA CAU's SINOSAURUS SKULL RECONSTRUCTION

[Jaime Headden <qi_leong@hotmail.com>]

  I am assuming that you meant "Spinosaurus" and not "Sinosaurus". Just to be 
clear, Andrea never produced a skull reconstruction of *Spinosaurus 
aegyptiacus*, but did post on his blog an image of *Spinosaurus aegyptiacus*, 
which was created by Simone Maganuco for a paper Dal Sasso et al., 2005 
(reference and pdf below).

Dal Sasso, C., Maganuco, S., Buffetaut, E. & Mendez, M. A. 2005. New 
information on the skull of the enigmatic theropod Spinosaurus, with remarks on 
its sizes and affinities. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology 25(4):888–896.
