Talk:Suchomimus

message: I think the last line in this paragraph is trying to raise the idea that suchomimus may be a species of baryonyx? but not doing it very succesfully. The person who wrote it has gotten confused :)
'Suchomimus has been placed among the spinosaurs, a group of predators. Apart from the back ridge, Suchomimus was very similar to Baryonyx which also had strong forelimbs and a huge sickle-curved claw on its "thumb". And, as with Baryonyx, the claw was the first fossil part to be noticed by palaeontologists. Suchomimus was considerably larger than Baryonyx, but a few paleontologists have suggested that the latter might almost have been a juvenile of the former.' Steveoc 86 17:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I don't have the paper(s) that synonymized the two, so maybe somebody with more info can re-write this. Dinoguy2 18:57, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The baryonyx artical says this and has a source 
'It has recently been suggested (Hutt, 2004) that Suchomimus tenerensis should be redefined as Baryonyx tenerensis due to similarities in their vertebrae.' 
Steve Hutt and Penny Newbery. "A new look at Baryonyx walkeri (Charig and Milner, 1986) based upon a recent fossil find from the Wealden" (2004), from the Symposium of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Comparative Anatomy. Steveoc 86 22:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I had heard that the two are pretty much indistinguishable in every feature except geography, but maybe that hyperbole and/or unpublished. Dinoguy2 22:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

text: From a veriety of pics and photos of whats known, including the suchomimus paper, I'd say their definatly different speices, suchomimus' skull is longer and narrower. The tip of the snoat is more rounded in suchomimus. The spines on the vertebra are taller in suchomimus. Whether they are different genus, i don't know? maybe the artical should be changed to match what it says in the baryonyx artical, it is true that some one suggested they are the same species?

thread_title:  Classification 

message: There r many sources statin Suchomimus is just a junior synonym of Cristatusaurus, dat is NOT nomen dubium!
Here is a list of scientific papers synonymizing Suchomimus with Cristatusaurus
1)Charig and Milner, 1997. Baryonyx walkeri, a fish-eating dinosaur from the Wealden of Surrey. Bulletin of the Natural History Museum of London (Geology). 53, 11-70. 
2)Naish, Hutt and Martill, 2001. Saurischian dinosaurs 2 : Theropods. In Martill and Naish, Eds, Dinosaurs of the Isle of Wight. The Palaeontological Association, London. 242-309
3)Sues, Frey, Martill and Scott, 2002. Irritator challengeri, a spinosaurid (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. 22(3), 535-547.
There is anoder paper i cant remember doin so, and Milner is even preparatin a new paper dat synonymizes dem too
Even Mickey Mortimer thinks so

And bdw, Cristatusaurus (crested lizard) is way cooler than Suchomimus (croc-mimic)! XD  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brisio (talk • contribs) 15:55, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know if you've read these sources, but according to Sues et al 2002, Milner (in prep) considers both Suchomimus and Cristatusaurus to be junior synonyms of Baryonyx. Dinoguy2 (talk) 17:20, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Synonymization with Cristatusaurus 

message: A couple of changes were made recently to the taxobox image. First, the image was changed to the Chicago Children's Museum mount. Then, it was changed to the Iziko Museum mount with a white background. While I do agree that these pictures are both better than the past taxobox image, there are some distortions in the current taxobox image(the Iziko Museum one). Since this mount was taken from a large panorama of the hall, the vertebra are distorted, and the tail is greatly pinched and distorted. I think if a version of the Chicago mount was put up where the background is cropped away and replaced with a white background, it will be better than this current image. Either way, the current image needs to be changed. BleachedRice (talk) 03:42, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

message: The wiki page says it lived as far back as 125 million years ago, which would mean it lived at the same time as the Wessex fauna like Ceratosuchops, Caulkicephalus, Iguanodon, Polacanthus, and Neovenator, why is that?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CuddleKing1993 (talk • contribs) 23:39, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Because of sources given.  If you have superior sources that contradict this, did it ever occur to you to show them to other editors, instead of engaging in childish temper tantrums?--Mr Fink (talk) 00:46, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

text: I wanted to do a fan reimaging of WWD's Giant of the Skies that features Caulkicephalus traveling across from England all the way to Niger and then all the way back, featuring animals like Suchomimus, Kryptops, Ouranosaurus, Nigersaurus, Sarcosuchus, Anatosuchus, Sachicasaurus, Ceratosuchops, Iguanodon, Polacanthus, Neovenator, Hypsilophodon, Wightia, and Istiodactylus.--CuddleKing1993 (User talk:CuddleKing1993)  — Preceding undated comment added 03:14, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
