A team of scientists hailing from the University of Southampton and Ohio University has successfully reconstructed the inner ears and brains of two spinosaurs from Britain, which has shed light on the ways in which these formidable carnivorous creatures interacted with their surroundings. Spinosa
Baryonyxfrom the Isle of Wight. These two are the oldest spinosaurs for which braincase material is known. The huge creatures would have been roaming the planet about 125 million years ago. The braincases of both specimens are well preserved, and the team digitally reconstructed the internal soft tissues that had long rotted away.
“Despite their unusual ecology, it seems the brains and senses of these early spinosaurs retained many aspects in common with other large-bodied theropods – there is no evidence that their semi-aquatic lifestyles are reflected in the way their brains are organized,” said University of Southampton PhD student Chris Barker, who led the study.
