Becklespinax Battle Roarin'
Becklespinax is a mysterious English predator known from just three tall-spined back bones, and it has had more names than most dinosaurs. Mattel’s Battle Roarin’ Becklespinax, from the Jurassic World Chaos Theory range, is a big olive-green figure with a ridged back, a chomping head strike, snarls and roars. Here is what the figure looks like, the story of its many names, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

About Becklespinax
Becklespinax was named in 1991 by George Olshevsky from three back vertebrae found in the 1800s by Samuel Beckles in East Sussex, England.
It lived in the Early Cretaceous, about 140 million years ago. Its size is uncertain, but it was probably a medium-sized predator.
The tall spines on its back bones suggest it had a ridge or hump along its back, a little like a small sail.
