You know she had to turn up. The it girl. Spinosaurus.

Many years ago, when I was still blogging for National Geographic, an editor there asked me about research said to prove the spine lizard was an aquatic dinosaur - claimed by the paleontologists as the first ever found. I said the findings sounded really interesting, if the conclusions were overblown. I half expected that the release of the new studies would be something of a disappointment, how little of the new skeleton was found.
