Spinosaurus was bipedal (it walked on two legs). It was about 12-15m long and weighed 4 tons or more (some paleontologists estimate it weighed up to perhaps 8 tons); it is the largest known spinosaurid (a type of large, meat-eating dinosaur). It had a large head with sharp, straight, non-serrated teeth in powerful, crocodile-like jaws. Its arms were smaller than its legs but were larger than the arms of most other theropods. It may have gone on all fours at times.
Spinosaurus lived during the middle Cretaceous period, about 95 million years ago in the tropics near sea level. At the same time and place, there was another sail-backed dinosaur, Ouranosaurus, a large, bipedal plant-eater.
Spinosaurus' huge sail may have been used for regulating its temperature. It could collect warmth from the sun and also disperse excess body heat when in the shade. The presence of this sail as a thermo-regulatory device is evidence that Spinosaurus may have been a cold-blooded animal. The sail may also have been used for mating rituals, attracting mates. The sail may have been brightly colored, like the fins of some modern-day reptiles.
Cache is located in Petrie Park and can be easily accessed via Price Street, Petrie Park Road, Hospital Road, Florence Street or Carter Road.
Footbridges traverse the park and walking or bike-riding is a good way to see it.
Dogs are allowed to run around leash-free on the playing field, but only when it is not in use. They must be on a leash in the rest of the park and on footbridges.
Wildlife thrives in Petrie Park, so make occasional stops around the creek and watch out for some interesting native animals. Water dragons and fresh water turtles inhabit the creek and its surroundings. A one-way walk through the park takes fifteen to twenty minutes. There are rest areas in and around the park and there are also good spots to have a picnic.
A camoed clip lock container is what you seek.
The cache contains a logbook only so please bring your own pen.
Good luck and happy caching
