ohh doing the less known ones hmm? I like it, I always wonder if since Spinosaurs turned out to have a spine like that and shorter legs, I wonder if they all are like that, though I know its legs are so small because they were shrinking in the water.

Thanks! And yeah I wonder the same thing too, since we barely know about Oxalaia...

My idea is that it is half way between spinosaurus and baryonx

Considering that what we have of Oxalaia is virtually identical to corresponding parts of Spinosaurus (yutyrannus.deviantart.com/jour… ) a lot of people see Oxalaia simply as "Spinosaurus quilombensis". Obviously the remains are too fragmentary to really know, but at the moment it looks like it was really similar to Spinosaurus aegyptiacus and was probably a bit more than half-way between so to speak. If you want something that is more likely to be half-way between short-legged Spinosaurus and somewhat average-legged Baryonyx, Irritator might work since it is within the Spinosaurinae subfamily along with Oxalaia and Spinosaurus. We have not actually found the legs of Irritator (or anything apart from the skull really) and I think the legs are pretty likely to turn out to be pretty short, although not Spinosaurus-short.
