Baryonyx

Period: Early cretaceous - 130 milion years ago
Where: Europe (England)
Fossil dimension: 10 meters long
Quick facts: Baryonyx was between 7,5 and 10m (25 and 33FT) long and weighed between 1,2 and 1,7 T (1,3 and 1,9 short tons), but the holotype specimen may not have been fully grown. It had a long, low snout and narrow jaws, which have been compared to those of a gharial. The neck was less vurved than that of other theropods, and the neural spines of its dorsal vertebrae increased in height from front to back. It had robust forelimbs, with the eponymous first-finger claw measuring about 31cm (12IN) long. the holotype specimen was discovered in 1983 in Surrey, England.
