Datos curiosos
The name Becklespinax honors Samuel Husbands Beckles, who discovered the fossils in the 1850s.2
Its back vertebrae have spines about 35 centimeters (14 inches) tall, as tall as those of some other dinosaurs like Ichthyovenator.2
The three back vertebrae are fused together at the top of the spines, which is unusual.2
The famous Megalosaurus sculpture in Crystal Palace Park, London, was given a hump because of these fossils.2
Scientists are not sure exactly which group of theropods Becklespinax belongs to, so they call it Tetanurae incertae sedis (uncertain placement).2
