Systematic review and revision of spinosaurid material and ecological evidence, retaining fragmentary-record and taxonomic limits.
Claim ledger
taxonomy · mediumSpinosauridae is represented by Hone and Holtz’s revision of named and fragmentary material; subfamily assignments and ecological signals are evidence-weighted hypotheses, not a complete family range or uniform semiaquatic ecology.
claim:taxon:spinosauridaefossil-range · mediumSpinosauridae is displayed at 145–93.9 Ma only as the review's taxonomically qualified fossil coverage, not exact family FAD/LAD. The interval is a source-bounded sample window, not a global FAD, LAD, divergence date, continuous occupancy claim or direct-ancestor assertion.
