	Baryonyx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baryonyx /bæ.riː'ɒn.ɪks/ meaning "heavy claw", referring to its large claw (Greek barus meaning 'heavy' and onyx meaning 'claw' or 'nail') was a carnivorous dinosaur discovered in clay pits just south of Dorking, England, and northern Spain.
		The major part of the skeleton of a juvenile specimen were found in England, while the Spanish fossils consists mainly in a partial skull and fossil tracks.
		Baryonyx was about 8 to 10 m long (26 to 33 ft), and around 3.6 m (12 ft) tall.

		Baryonyx was first discovered in a clay pit in England in 1983 by an amateur fossil collector named William Walker.
		It is thought that the huge claw on its hand would have been used to reach into the water and hook the fish.
		The body and back legs of Baryonyx are similar to other theropod dinosaurs, but from there it gets a little peculiar.

	baryonyx
		Baryonyx was a bi-pedal carnivore that got its name from the long curved claws on its thumbs which grew to about 30cm on its hands.
		Baryonyx had a long straight neck which was unusual for large meat-eating dinosaurs which had necks shaped like a letter “S”.
		Baryonyx is the only known dinosaur to eat fish and it is suggested that it hunted like a bear, wading in rivers and shallow seas swiping at fish with its clawed hands.

	Baryonyx (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Baryonyx’s (Baryonyx walkeri) Name means “heavy claw”, due to its 15-inch long claws.
		Baryonyx had a snout like a crocodile’s, and 96 long, serrated teeth, which suited it well because it was a carnivore, or meat-eater.
		Baryonyx were usually 40 feet (12 meters) long and 16 feet (5 meters) tall.

		Taken from the first page is Synopsis: The well-preserved skeleton of a large theropod dinosaur, Baryonyx walkeri Charig and Milner, 1986, from the Wealden (Barremian, Lower Cretaceous) of Surrey, is described in detail.
		An investigation of the wider affinities of Baryonyx, based on a modified version of Holtz's 1994a data-matrix on the Theropoda, suggests that the Spinosauroidea is a basal member of the Tetanurae and sister-group to the whole of the Neotetanurae (i.e.
		Baryonyx was terestrial, a fish-eater, probably a scavenger, and possibly an active predator of small to medium-sized land animals.

		Baryonyx provides a good example of the difficulties scientists have when studying large fossil skeletons.
		Baryonyx was not fully extracted until 1991, so scientists have not yet reached final conclusions about the dinosaur.
		Baryonyx in tern may have been preyed upon by larger predatory dinosaurs when it was on land.

	Baryonyx walkeri
		Baryonyx was the first carnivorous dinosaur to be discovered in England.

		Baryonyx, or 'heavy claw', is a large theropod with an elongate skull, similar in appearance to that of a crocodile.
		Baryonyx had a large number of teeth, 32 in each lower jaw and 7 in each premaxilla.
		Baryonyx was probably the Isle of Wight's largest carnivore.

		The animal may have reached a total of 45 feet in length, and may have had a skull over 5 feet long, completing the mandible.
		The jaw is deep, so I've reconstructed the skull to accomodate this shape, considering the shape of the skull compared to the jaw in other spinosaurs (like Baryonyx and Suchomimus) and it does fairly complement the shape of the skull in Torvosaurus (see Britt, 1991).

		Baryonyx Walkeri was used as a case study in this instance as our guest speaker has had the luxury of being in on the original excavation and all aspects of the subsequent work undertaken by the Natural History Museum.
		In the case of Baryonyx, the remains were disarticulated, probably as a result of scavenging.
		The claw of Baryonyx has been replicated in detail and is suitable for electron scanning and silicon peels.

		Baryonyx can be found on both Isla Nublar and Sorna, though never witnessed on the tour on Nublar, or by the expeditions to Sorna.
		Baryonyx has a larger related species called Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, that can be found on Isla Sorna.
		He was trying to identify the animal and failed miserably (This is why he suggested Suchomimus and Baryonyx walkeri.) Dr. Alan Grant identified it as Spinosaurus aegyptiacus and made the comment that it wasn't on inGen's species list.

		The first discovery of Baryonyx walkeri was made by amateur fossil hunter William Walker in a Surrey claypit in 1983.
		In December 1997, however, a store of old fossils in the Isle of Wight Museum yielded a forearm of a Baryonyx.
		These remains had apparently been unearthed decades earlier on the southwest coast of the island, and had sat in a box in Carisbrooke Castle for a long time.

	"Baryonyx walkeri" by Kelley Taylor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In this painting I played with the idea that Baryonyx was perhaps a nocturnal hunter.
		It is hypothesized that because of the crocodile-like jaws and teeth, the Baryonyx specialized in eating fish.
		But we also know that crocodiles eat many other things as well, and 124 million years ago they may have eaten a few Baryonyx.

		The name chosen may indicate something unusual about the animal, or where it came from, or even who discovered it.
		The British dinosaur Baryonyx walkeri means literally (Mr Walker's heavy claw) because Mr Bill Walker found a large claw which turned out to belong to a new dinosaur characterised by this unusual claw.
		Velociraptor means 'speedy hunter' which is very appropriate ; Tyrannosaurus rex means ' king of the king reptiles'.

		The discovery of a remarkable vertebra from the south-west coast of the Isle of Wight allows comparison with a highly specialized taxon of theropod dinosaurs: the Spinosauroidea.
		We have examined the holotype skeleton of Baryonyx walkeri (Charig and Milner, 1986) and conclude that the new find is closely related to Baryonyx from the United Kingdom and to Suchomimus tenerensis (Sereno et al.1998) from North Africa.
		We also suggest that Suchomimus should be regarded as Baryonyx tenerensis, based partly on the information derived from this important new fossil from the Isle of Wight.

	Parry and Carney
		A pterodactyloid specimen was preserved with a spinosaurid tooth embedded in one of its cervical vertebrae.
		Previously, spinosaurids had been widely regarded as specialized for fish-eating, since one Baryonyx walkeri specimen contains acid-etched (i.e., partially digested) fish scales in its abdominal area (Charig and Milner, 1986), and the skulls of spinosaurids are remarkably crocodylian-like (Holtz, 1998).
		This may be the case to some extent, but it seems that, like Carney, they weren’t particularly choosy about whom they ate.
