Suchomimus tenerensis Suchomimus was discovered in the Tenere Desert of the west-central African country of Niger. It is possible that Suchomimus had a large gular or throat pouch, perhaps similar to what pelicans have, that expanded to hold large fish just prior to being swallowed head first, considering the narrowness of the jaws. Suchomimus was obviously powerful enough to subdue large animals.Another curious feature were the tall neural spines of the vertebrae. www.keltationsart.com /suchomimus.htm   (399 words)

Suchomimus Information Suchomimus ("crocodile mimic") was a large, spinosaurid dinosaur with a crocodile-like mouth that lived 110 to 120 million years ago, during the middle Cretaceous period in Africa. Suchomimus also had a tall extension of its vertebrae which may have held up some kind of low flap, ridge or sail of skin, as seen in much more exaggerated form in Spinosaurus. Detailed study shows that the specimen of Suchomimus was a subadult about 10.5 m (36 ft) in length, but scientists think that it may have grown to about the same size as Tyrannosaurus, about 12 m (40 ft) long. www.bookrags.com /wiki/Suchomimus   (362 words)

Suchomimus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Suchomimus ("crocodile mimic") was a large, spinosaurid dinosaur with a crocodile-like mouth that lived 110 to 120 million years ago, during the middle portion of the Cretaceous period in Africa. Suchomimus also had a tall extension of its vertebrae which may have held up some kind of low flap, ridge or sail of skin, as seen in much more exaggerated form in Spinosaurus. Suchomimus was considerably larger than Baryonyx, but a few paleontologists have suggested that the latter might almost have been a juvenile of the former. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Suchomimus   (394 words)

Suchomimus was a huge, meat-eating dinosaur with a crocodile-like mouth that lived 110 to 120 million years past, during the middle Cretaceous time. Suchomimus also had a tall additional room of its vertebrae which may have held up some kind of low flap, ridge or sail of skin, as seen in much more overstated form in Spinosaurus. Suchomimus was significantly larger than Baryonyx, but the latter might approximately have been a juvenile of the former. www.rareresource.com /suchomimus.htm   (317 words)

Suchomimus tenerensis Suchomimus reached 36 feet in length, was 12 feet high at the hip and weighed approximately 5 tons. Publication: Suchomimus is scientifically described for the first time in the Nov. 13, 1998, issue of the journal Science and also is reported in the December issue of National Geographic. Exhibit: The cast skeleton of Suchomimus, the world’s first free-standing mounted skeleton of a spinosaur, will go on display in Explorers Hall, 17th and M streets NW, in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Nov. 13, and at the Chicago Children’s Museum, Navy Pier, 700 E.

Science Show - 28 November 1998  - Dinosaur discoveries Suchomimus throws new light on our understanding of palaeobiogeography - the study of how ancient animals were distributed around the world. Finding Suchomimus on the southern side of this divide suggests that there was still some land bridge allowing free flow of animals from north to south. Suchomimus was announced in Science Magazine, and not to be outdone, nature published an equally thrilling paper for dinophiles on a clutch of dinosaur eggs. www.abc.net.au /rn/scienceshow/stories/1998/17379.htm   (368 words)

Augusta Georgia: technology@ugusta: New dinosaur species found in Africa 11/13/98 The new species, to be called Suchomimus tenerensis, ``was an impressive-sized beast,'' said Paul Sereno, a University of Chicago paleontologist who found the fossils last year in Africa. Suchomimus apparently was a fish eater, said Sereno, but it could threaten virtually anything around it. Suchomimus' teeth also are typical of fish-eating crocodiles, lightly curved and hooked and not designed for chewing. chronicle.augusta.com /stories/111398/tec_124-7632.shtml   (675 words)

North Texas e-News The foot-long (30-centimeter-long) thumb claws and powerfully built forelimbs were used to snare fish and other prey as the dinosaur waded in rivers; the thin, bony sail along its back, which reached a height of two feet (0.6 meter) over the hips, may have been brightly colored for display. Suchomimus lived in Africa about 100 million years ago in what was then a forested region dissected by broad rivers and home to other dinosaurs, huge crocodiles, turtles, pterosaurs and many kinds of fish. Suchomimus was the largest and most common predator of its day, judging from the numerous bones Sereno’s team recovered. www.ntxe-news.com /cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=3&num=8860   (615 words)

CNN - New dinosaur species found in Africa - November 12, 1998 Suchomimus was a member of a group of animals called spinosaurids that lived in the lands that became Africa, Europe and South America between 90 million and 120 million years ago. Suchomimus had about 100 lightly curved and hooked teeth well-suited to snatching and holding onto prey in much the way crocodiles ambush their food today. It's not known how the Suchomimus died, but it apparently was swept into a river, rolled over and over and then was buried by soil. www.cnn.com /TECH/science/9811/12/crocodile.dinosaur   (756 words)

SUCHOMIMUS In a study published today in the journal Science, a University of Chicago researcher said the previously unknown species was a 36-foot-long animal with the weapons and the strength to have intimidated even the famed Tyrannosaurus rex, the king of the North American dinosaur predators. It is not known how the newly discovered Suchomimus died, but it apparently was swept into a river, rolled over and over and then buried by soil. It is likely that the giant crocodiles and Suchomimus competed for the same large fish, ``and I imagine the two squared off,'' he said. members.aol.com /robinjoan5/dinocroc/dinocroc.htm   (632 words)

Babel | Suchomimus Suchomimus was a type of dinosaur that lived about 100 million years ago, which was during the latter part of the Cretaceous period. Fossils of Suchomimus have been found in the Sahara desert portion of the country of Niger. P.P.S. Suchomimus was probably not a dinosaur who looked for trouble, but because of its size, it could do pretty well in a fight. towerofbabel.com /map/articles/04/03/05/2214245.shtml   (448 words)

My Garage Kit Gallery This was fairly involved as it entailed lengthening the tail, shortening the arms/fingers, building on the large thumb claw, widening the body, realigning the legs closer to the body, and - finally - cutting the teeth out with an exacto-knife and replacing them with the teeth from a Dinotales Ceratosaurus Skull model. Suchomimus was very similar to Spinosaurus, but it didn't have the tall sail on its back. The discovery of Suchomimus has helped both scientists and the general public understand the rich diversity of life that lived in Africa millions of years ago. bucketfoot-al.tripod.com /DinoModels/index.album?i=21&s=1   (250 words)

Suchomimus The following day Suchomimus made the frontpage of the Chicago Tribune, was the subject of a major science story in the San Francisco Chronicle, and was highlighted in an Associated Press article appearing in thousands of newspapers countrywide. As Holtz wrote in a Science commentary appearing next to Sereno's description paper, Suchomimus' ability to exploit the fish eating niche may have led to a more diverse ecosystem, one that was able to hold 3-4 large predators. The Suchomimus exhibit is probably the most popular attraction in the entire Navy Pier. www.prehistoricplanet.com /features/articles/brusatte/suchomimus/index.htm   (1146 words)

Suchomimus tenerensis Suchomimus tenerensis fragments were discovered in Niger in 1995. Suchomimus was a member of the spinosaurid family. Suchomimus had tall spines on its back like Spinosaurus, only smaller, and had a very crocodile-like skull(hence the name "crocodile mimic"). deinosaurs.mystarship.com /catalog.html   (179 words)

Dinosaur News-ZoomDinosaurs.com Suchomimus tenerensis (meaning "crocodile mimic from Tenere," after the part of the Sahara desert where it was found) was a fish-eating (and meat-eating) spinosaurid theropod dinosaur. Suchomimus had a sail-like structure along its back, perhaps used for regulating its temperature. Suchomimus belonged to the group of meat-eating dinosaurs called spinosaurs. www.zoomdinosaurs.com /subjects/dinosaurs/news/Suchomimus.shtml   (592 words)

The Megalosauria Spinosaurids, like the recently discovered Suchomimus, have very short and stocky arms, thumb claws which are dramatically larger than the other unguals, unguals with greater angles of curvature, a tapering shaft, and more oval slender cross-section (like that of a carnosaur or Torvosaurus claw). Suchomimus is a close relative, and probably belongs in the same genus. Suchomimus may have swept its mouth back and forth through the water, much like a pelican, and snapped when it encountered prey. www.kheper.net /evolution/dinosauria/Megalosauria.htm   (2864 words)

Profile / Profiel: A Portrait of Dr. Paul Sereno - The 'Suchomimus Star' Suchomimus was an amazing find, which provided the proof Sereno needed to prove his hypothesis. Suchomimus was closely related to the English Baryonyx, and not the American Spinosaurus. Suchomimus had powerful forearms that were used to grasp prey. sasap.freeservers.com /australopethicus/profile.html   (1697 words)

TIME.com: The Fisher King -- Page 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) He's Suchomimus tererensis, an entirely new breed of dinosaur to be unveiled Friday in the journal Science. Suchomimus was discovered -— bit by fossilized bit -— by paleontologist Paul Sereno in Niger, Africa, last year. And that means paleontologists everywhere are going to have to rethink the whole spinosaur family of dinosaur that Suchomimus belonged to. www.time.com /time/nation/article/0,8599,15839,00.html   (453 words)

Suchomimus - A Fish Eating Dinosaur - InfoHub Suchomimus was a type of dinosaur that lived about 100 million years ago, which was during the Creataceous period (135-65 million years ago). Suchomimus had a crocodile-like head with 100 razor sharp teeth. P.S. the crocodile-like head of Suchomimus has prompted some paleontologists to say that is was trying hard to be a crocodile. www.infohub.com /forums/showthread.php?t=4033&goto=nextnewest   (341 words)

Dinosaur Dictionary Suchomimus was discovered in the Sahara Desert in 1997. Powerful forelimbs and thumb claws might have been used to hook yard-long fish from the water, or to tear open the tough hides of big, meaty dinosaurs that it found dead. Amazingly similiar to Baryonyx apart from its rigid back, some scientists suspect that Suchomimus was really a large baryonyx after all. www.dinostarfamily.com /dictionary/index32a1.html?action=view&id=11   (116 words)

Expedition unearths dinosaur fossil The claw belongs to a new species of spinosaur, a large predator that Sereno and his team have named Suchomimus tenerensis, which means “crocodile mimic from Tènèrè.” Sereno and his co-authors announced the discovery in the Nov. 13 issue of the journal Science. Suchomimus belongs to a peculiar group of predators called spinosaurs that lived in Europe and South America as well as in Africa. Expedition and laboratory work on Suchomimus was funded by the National Geographic Society, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Pritzker Foundation and the Women’s Board of the University of Chicago. chronicle.uchicago.edu /981125/expedition.shtml   (943 words)

SUCHOMIMUS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) Suchomimus is characterised by a long, narrow and low snout that has redefined the shape of the spinosaurid skull in general. The dorsal vertebrae have elongated neural spines consistent with a sail, but it is very much lower than that of Spinosaurus itself and at its highest point over the hips. Suchomimus appears to be closely related to Baryonyx. www.dinoruss.org /de_4/5caab96.htm   (99 words)

Biology In the News - Glencoe Online In November of 1998, a new species was described by Paul Sereno and several of his colleagues from fossils found in Egypt.
