In 2009, Dr. Kristian Remes succeeded in constructing a combined skeleton representation of both specimens (the one in Braunschweig and the one in Elche in Spain). The animals were about 13 to 14 metres long and had a shoulder height of about 4 metres. The scientific name of Spinophorosaurus nigerensis (Stinged dinosaur from Niger) was decided upon together with the colleagues in Spain.
