Some species had huge sails over their backs, as well as fin-like tails. A great deal of scientific mystery surrounds them. Their fossil remains are highly fragmentary, many aspects of their appearance uncertain, their evolutionary relationships elusive, and interpretations of their ecology and behaviour are hotly contested. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpinosaur Tales \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the exciting, sometimes controversial world of spinosaur science. Bringing these creatures back to life with stunning illustrations, world-renowned palaeontologists David Hone and Mark P. Witton present the latest views on the evolution, anatomy and lifestyles of an enigmatic yet charismatic dinosaur group.","brand":"Mark Witton, David Hone","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47288918147308,"sku":"9781399412469","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781399412469.jpg?v=1770579803","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/spinosaur-tales-the-biology-and-ecology-of-the-spinosaurs","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
