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 ...

These remains were described by British paleontologists Alan J. Charig and Angela C. Milner in 1986 as the holotype of a new species, Baryonyx walkeri. After the discovery of Baryonyx, many new genera have since been described, with the majority from very incomplete remains. However, other finds bear enough fossil material and distinct ...
Baryonychinae is an extinct clade or subfamily of spinosaurids from the Early Cretaceous of Europe and West Africa.The clade was named by Charig & Milner in 1986 and defined by Sereno et al. in 1998 and Holtz et al. in 2004 as all taxa more closely related to Baryonyx walkeri than to Spinosaurus aegyptiacus.
Baryonyx, a large theropod, was found with fish scales in its stomach, indicating that it may have been a piscivore. Suborder Theropoda ("beast foot", bipedal carnivores) Aristosuchus pusillus, a compsognathid; Baryonyx walkeri: Teeth are common on the Island. Hand bones have also been found. Ceratosuchops inferodios [9]
Scale diagram of the holotypic specimen of Baryonyx walkeri. Using the vertebra from the Wessex formation as basis for the size of Baryonyx's "hump" (Hutt and Newbery, 2004). Measurments of hooltypic specmien obtained from Charig, A. J.; Milner, A. C. (1997).
Her primary work was early tetrapods, the subject of her doctorate. Her most significant scientific work was on description of the fossilised remains of Baryonyx walkeri, a fish-eating dinosaur. [2] This was found in a clay-pit in Surrey and was the most complete dinosaur skeleton identified in the UK to that date.
