Troodon Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Interesting and implications to other faunas. Looks like most collectors will need to change the ID of their Baryonyx teeth to Baryonychinae. Will put a lot of importance to what formation these teeth are from in the Wealden Group to call it definitely Baryonyx. Must be from the older IOW deposits if its possible to identify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner64 Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 @Troodon has been quite an eventful month for dino discoveries hasn’t it? Seems to be a reoccurring theme that when spinosaurids are present, multiple genera make up the assemblage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Wizard Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Great finds and a great paper. An excellent example of amateurs and professionals working together. And a big shout out to Nature for making the paper open access. Well done all round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
