Ah, yes, it is a bit technical, but the spiked tail/osteoderms is listed under the "diagnosis", which is per definition a list of features that distinguish it from other relatives. I have added the line "a distinguishing feature of the genus". But I have another source that more explicitly states in
270:
Article is long enough and 5x expanded recently enough. No copyvio in the article and the image is licensed and sourced appropriately. I looked at the source for Alt0 (which I think is more interesting) and verified that it supports the fact that it had a spiked tail, but didn't see anything that
271:
supports the "unlike other members of its group" part of the hook. This also isn't explicitly stated in the article itself. It's also unclear what you mean by "group". If you could make that clearer in the article that would be nice. Such an interesting piece, though!
338: 351:
Nice, much more concise, we don't need to mention both "its group" and "sauropod", when it's the same... I think we might need to introduce Spino as "the dinosaur", though. Not everyone knows what a sauropod is.
314:
is an improvement to the current phrasing. Also I like the edit you made to the article itself. I'd pass it now for that hook, but I'll wait for your say-so in case you want to add more hook options.
93: 287:
layterms that it is unique for this animal, if needed. What if I say "unlike most of its relatives" or "unlike most related species" here instead? More alts might be coming up, by the way.

hook clearer & more concise; new image sourced & licensed appropriately. Good to go!

Looks good to me. As for the image, would the skeletal diagram be better, more "factual"?
