Siamosaurus is an extinct genus of spinosaurid which existed during the early Cretaceous period in what is now Thailand. Currently, the exact size of this dinosaur is unknown, however most estimates suggest that it was around 9.1 metres (30 ft) in length.
Little is known about Siamosaurus. Its teeth closely resembled those of its close relative Spinosaurus, indicating that its diet mainly consisted of fish and aquatic animals.
