Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

The sail is a bit too... It's almost just like a semicircle stuck on the back, and it's a bit more complicated than that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

But personally, I'm quite a big fan of the Jurassic Park 3 Spinosaurus.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

I think for its era, it's really quite good.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

It is massive.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

So there is this... They're from, I've got to say, Morocco.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

Because Spinosaurus is found throughout North Africa, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

There's a massive pair of jaws or snout that's in a collection in Milan that's absolutely outsized, just like an absolute giant.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

And that points to a truly monumentally sized Spinosaurus, which is where all these upper estimates of 15 plus meters come from.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

It's just this one set of jaws.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

But yeah, it's about right, but it's just a bit too muscly and a bit too bulky.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

But in gross appearance, it's pretty good.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

Does it have a chance against the T-Rex?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

No, because it's got this unbelievably long, thin jaw, which was much stronger than something like Baryonyx is fundamentally not that strong.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

The jaws are very long and thin.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

And then the teeth are, yeah, they're big, but they're not.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

big big um you know the the whole like it grabs the t-rex neck and then like snaps it well spinosaurus actually its neck is really strong going up and down and he's very weak rotating or going side to side so it's got the weakest kind of possible neck to like rotate and snap the t-rex and then t-rex has got like the strongest neck of any

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

like very in some level generic but quite important things it gets right t-rex is about the right size and shape and is massive and you don't actually see it run you see it power walk if you watch the jeep chase again you'll see it only ever has one foot on the ground the weird thing for me is how much some of them vary so like i'm a big pterosaur guy i do lots of work on pterosaurs the flying reptiles the pteranodons in jurassic park

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

Two, The Lost World.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

You see them very, very briefly in one of the last shots.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#480 โ€“ Dave Hone: T-Rex, Dinosaurs, Extinction, Evolution, and Jurassic Park

And they're okay, but they're not great.
