Hello. I'm going to tell the story of my famous. He is very special for me because he discovered the biggest carnivore creature of the planet, “The Spinosaurus”.”The Spinosaurus was found in the 1910's by the guy named Ernst Freiherr Stromer von Reichbenbach. He was born in Germany in June,1870.

In 1893, he began to study geology and paleontology at the university of Munich and wrote his first thesis about geology at the German colonies in Africa. In 1910, E. Stromer went to his third paleontological expedition to Egypt. He arrived at Alexandaria on November 7th. He was initially looking for early mammals and planned to visit the area of Bahariya. The Western Desert needed the permission by the English and French colonial authorities. Although diplomatic relations with Germany were rapidly deteriorated, Stromer managed to get the permissions. He arrived at the Baharia Oasis on January 11th, 1911 after facing some difficulties during the journey. On January 17th, he began to explore the area of Gebel El-Dist and at the bottom of the Bahariya Depression, Stromer found the remains of four immense and entirely new dinosaurs. “Aegyptosaurus”, “Bahariasaurus”, “Carcharadontosaurus”, “Spinosaurus” and “Aegyptiacus”.
