"Dispute on the Beach"

On a Brazilian coast beach, a big coelacanth (Mawsonia gigas) dies. A spinosaurid Angaturama limae (= Irritator challegeri?) finds the carcass and takes advantage of the chance for a gratuitous meal. Attracted by smell it of the dead fish, the Spinosaurus is determined to steal the meal. The Spino's giant size is intimidating to the Angaturama, and it looses no time in running away.

There is no evidence of the interaction between Angaturama and Spinosaurus. The body´s reconstruction of Angaturama (including the sail) is based on the close relation to Spinosaurus.
