You can help name the Field Museum's new spinosaurus

CHICAGO (CBS) – The Field Museum wants to name a replica of a 46-foot long spinosaurus, the world's largest predatory dinosaur.

And you can help name it.

Workers at the museum installed the replica last month.

There are three options:

  • "Sabah" is Arabic for "swimmer." Spinosaurus had a paddle-like tail to help it navigate the rivers of North America.
  • "Sobek" is an Egyptian crocodile-headed god. The Spinosaurus had crocodile-like jaws.
  • "Sandy" is the final choice because Spinosaurus was found in sandy desert dunes.

To vote on one of the three names, head to the Field Museum's website.
