    Since the new spinosaur has gotten everybody in the mood for some giant carnivore discussion, I thought you might enjoy this piece by Dinosaur Tracking Blog which chronicles the family history of another high spined theropod, Acrocanthosaurus atokensis. Surprisingly, it's not closely related to the spinosaurs at all, but their 'rivals' the carcharodontosaurs (who also feature prominently in the aforementioned thread).
