| | DINOSAURS: Family Baronychidae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) |
 | | Baryonyx is a recently discovered dinosaur that was in 1983 by an amateur fossil hunter, in Sussex, England, that appears to have been especially well suited for fishing, if so, it is the only known fishing dinosaur (Not until Spinosaurus was excavated). |
 | | Baryonyx's nostrils were set back from the tip of its long, narrow, crocodile-like snout, perhaps so it could stick its nose underwater and still breathe. |
 | | Baryonyx, meaning 'heavy claw', takes its name from the two huge, curved claws, more than a foot long, that seem to have been attached to its front feet, where they would be handy for spearing fish. |
