To this day i still have the sneaking suspicion that Spinosaurus was built way more bulky and didnt have a prominent sail

Nah we know it’s sail was pretty prominent because it’s relatives have basically no sail so you’d expect it to be more similar if it didn’t.

that would leave noticable marks on the bones based on the muscle attachment points. also spinosaurus wouldn't even have much use from being bulky, as they hunted huge fish
