Baryonyx vertebra?


indominus rex

Recommended Posts

Hello, I’m wondering if this is actually a Baryonyx vertebra. It was found in Wealden formation, Sussex England.

Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils;).

And if possible I’d like to know if this is a Sauropod vertebra. From the same location.

I think you might be right. That first vertebra does look like a Spinosaurid dorsal vertebra.

 

Here are some dorsal vertebrae examples of the holotype of Baryonyx.

Baryonyx caudal verts.

That second vertebra does also indeed look like a caudal vertebra of a Sauropod.

 

Very nice pieces! :dinothumb:

The spinosaur vertebra was found near Bexhill, East sussex. I know because i found it :) , way back about 2005.  Its from a juvenile, obviously.  Unworn ,  uncommon for a beach find !

  • Thank You 1

In the footsteps of Mantell and Anning, searching for dinosaur with a passion !
