This paleontological restoration is highly hypothetical, as very little fossil material of the animal is known. Use of this image might be controversial.
Reason: Siamosaurus is currently only known from teeth. Reconstruction is based on related genera & spinosaurid specimen SM-KK 14, the remains of the latter of which might be referable to the genus. Kinnareemimus is only known from various leg bones & some vertebra.

DescriptionSpinosaurid and Kinnareemimus.PNG
Reconstruction of the terrestrial paleoenvironmental setting of the Sao Khua Formation by Renata Cunha.
In the center, a generalized spinosaurid feeds on a sauropod. This trophic relationship is hypothesized based on isolated tooth crowns found in association with a sauropod skeleton [67]. In the background, a small pack of the ornithomimosaur theropod Kinnareemimus. Both sauropods and ornithomimosaurs (as part of the “herbivorous” theropods) were found to be positively associated with terrestrial paleoenvironments by Butler and Barrett [15].
