Ichthyovenator

Fossil spinal column Ichthyovenator

• ... that the spinosaurid dinosaur Ichthyovenator (fossils pictured) had two sails on its back? Source: "It is very low compared with the posterior dorsal and other sacral neural spines, and is responsible of the sinusoidal shape of the reconstructed sail of Ichthyovenator (Figs. 2and 6). Thus, the latter could be subdivided into a sacral sail including sacral vertebrae S2 to S5 and the first two caudal vertebrae, and a tall dorsal sail including at least dorsal vertebrae D12 and D13." (Allain et al. (2012):[1])

• Hi, I came by to promote this. We need an inline cite for the hook fact, meaning right after the sentence in which the hook fact appears. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:19, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Added inline citation, Yoninah, and also replaced the image with a more up-to-date version. ▼PσlєοGєєкƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ 21:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you. Can't say I like this new image at thumbnail size, though. Restoring tick. Yoninah (talk) 22:28, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Yeah I agree, forgot it's much longer than the previous one. Switched it out for another image, would this work better, Yoninah? ▼PσlєοGєєкƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ 06:37, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

• It's pretty dark and hard to make out at thumbnail size. We can run it without an image. Yoninah (talk) 10:26, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
