Baryonyx

Baryonyx was a fish-eating dinosaur with a massive claw on each hand, roaming what is now England and Spain over 125 million years ago. Its name means 'heavy claw,' a nod to its most striking feature. One of the best-preserved theropod skeletons from the UK belongs to this genus.

• Its first fossil was found in 1983 by an amateur collector in Surrey, England.
• The dinosaur's name honors both its large claw and its discoverer, William Walker.
• Baryonyx remains are among the most complete theropod skeletons found in the UK.
