Megaraptor head reconstruction based on the juvenile skull. The skull of Megaraptor is known from a single juvenile specimen, which preserves both premaxillae and maxillae, nasals, a left frontal, and a partial braincase. The premaxilla is fairly small and bears several large foramina, as in many tyrannosauroids.
Baryonyx (/ ˌ b ær i ˈ ɒ n ɪ k s /) is a genus of theropod dinosaur which lived in the Barremian stage of the Early Cretaceous period, about 130–125 million years ago.The first skeleton was discovered in 1983 in the Smokejack Clay Pit, of Surrey, England, in sediments of the Weald Clay Formation, and became the holotype specimen of Baryonyx walkeri, named by palaeontologists Alan J ...
Megaraptor retained a vestigial fourth metacarpal, the hand bone that would have connected to the fourth finger in early dinosaurs. This was a primitive feature lost by most other tetanurans. The first two fingers had absurdly large unguals (claws); in Megaraptor the first claw was larger than the entire ulna. Unlike the large unguals of many ...
Two of the new megaraptor species are the oldest known globally and shed light on the evolutionary history of the group that includes the iconic velociraptor made famous by Jurassic Park films.
Biggest 'Megaraptor' Ever Discovered If you've seen Jurassic Park , you know how scary velociraptors are -- and even if you haven't, they were dinosaurs with really sharp teeth, so that alone is ...

Size of Australovenator compared to a human. According to Gregory S. Paul, it was estimated at 6 m (20 ft) long, with a body mass of 500 kilograms (1,100 lb). [10] A 2014 study estimated its body mass around 310 kilograms (680 lb). [11]
Tetanurae (/ˌtɛtəˈnjuːriː/ or "stiff tails") is a clade that includes most theropod dinosaurs, including megalosauroids, allosauroids, and coelurosaurs (which includes tyrannosauroids, ornithomimosaurs, compsognathids and maniraptorans, the latter including living birds). [1]
