Dinosaur of the day Tachiraptor, a small carnivorous theropod that was found in the mountains of Venezuela.

In dinosaur news this week:

• Spinosaurids had the skull and teeth to go after large prey
• Instead of crocodile mimics, maybe spinosaurs should be considered phytosaur mimics
• Spinosaurus had at least one other spinosaurine living along side it in the Kem Kem beds in Morocco
• A tooth in Thailand that was long thought to be from an ichthyosaur was actually from a spinosaur
