what was the largest carnivorous dinosaur

The largest carnivorous dinosaur is the Spinosaurus, which is also possibly the largest land-based predator ever known. The Spinosaurus lived around 95-70 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period and measured 17 meters (56 feet) long and weighed 7-9 tonnes (15,400 - 19,800 lb) . It had a large, spiny, fin-like sail on top of its back, at least 6 feet tall, and is well-known for it. The Spinosaurus was a massive carnivorous dinosaur that lived on the earth during the Late Cretaceous Period, and its main diet consisted of fish, as opposed to other dinosaurs.
