Possible new Spinosaurid from the Latest Jurassic of Africa

Another new Spinosaurid taxon has been described this week, this time from the End-Jurassic of Tanzania. It is a little scrupulous as it is only based on a single tooth, which was previously referred to a different genus. If valid, it would be the oldest Spinosaurid currently known.

So, here is Ostafrikasaurus crassiserratus

The original paper.
