Siamosaurus looks a lot like Spinosaurus[1]
Siamosaurus (meaning "Siamese lizard") is a genus of theropod dinosaur from Early Cretaceous Thailand. The size of the animal is unknown, but it may have reached a length of about 9.1 meters (30 ft). The type species, Siamosaurus suteethorni, was formally described by Buffetaut and Ingavat in 1986.[1] There is very little information on this Cretaceous meat-eater, but it is known from teeth that closely resemble those of Spinosaurus it may have eaten fish.Siamosaurus was found near the Bangkong beach region of the Indian ocean
