Siamosaurus

Illustrated tooth of Siamosaurus

... that Siamosaurus, a large bipedal carnivore from the Early Cretaceous of Thailand, is the first spinosaurid (crocodile-like) dinosaur named from Asia? Source: "If future discoveries confirm this attribution, Siamosaurus suteethorni will be the first spinosaurid to be reported from Asia" (Buffetaut and Ingavat, 1986)^[1] - "Later spinosaurids are characterized by significantly smaller and more numerous denticles (Baryonyx), or unserrated carinae (Spinosaurus), the Asian forms such as Siamosaurus suteethorni from the Early Cretaceous of Thailand" (Buffetaut, 2012) - "The Spinosauridae is an enigmatic clade of large and carnivorous theropods" & "the morphology of the skull and teeth in particular are similar to those of extant crocodilians" (Hone and Holtz, 2017)

starting review--Kev min § 18:29, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Article GA expansion and status new enough. Hook is cited and sourced. no policy issues identified with the article. Neutral in tone. image is main page appropriate. However there are multiple citations that are either not defined or multiply defined and need sorting..--Kev min § 22:48, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Whoops, I should definitely keep a better eye out on citation formatting! Fixed all the errors I could find, Kevmin. ▼PσlєοGєєк ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼ 23:05, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks PaleoGeekSquared, with the ref fixes everything looks good to go now.-Kev min § 04:07, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
