Basically, we've only found pieces of Spinosaurus and every time something new is found, our understanding of what it might have looked like has changed drastically.

Spinosaurus keeps getting retconned.

reconned

Do you mean retconned as in retroactive continuity? Or is Spinosaurus a serial victim of the same con?

No it's recon like reconnaissance. They keep doing more archaeology digs and finding more recon about the true nature of the Spinosaurus forces.
