Baryonyx takes its name from the Greek worlds meaning 'heavy' and  'claw' or 'nail'. The Baryonyx lived during the early Cretaceous Period, around 130 - 125 million years ago. Remains of this fascinating creature were first discovered in clay pits just south of Dorking, England and later reported from fossils found in northern Spain and Portugal. It is known to contain only one species, Baryonyx walkeri. Baryonyx is one of the few known fish-eating dinosaurs, with specialized adaptations like a long low snout with narrow jaws filled with finely serrated teeth and gaff-hook-like claws to help it hunt its main prey.
