It s not a Prelly sight. I would t Pareto meet it on a dark night myself Pale oncologist Alan Chang said wednesday. Bar Onyx Walker was about 30 fee Long 12 to is feet tall on in Hind legs weighed 1 a to 2 ions and had a Croco dil Elike snout and huge claws possibly Tor snatching fish from riverbanks according to Chang. We think it s so different from allot her dinosaurs that it menu being placed in a new family said Charig curator of fossils reptiles and Birds at London s natural history museum. He suggested the family be called Baryon Chi Dae. In scientific classification a family is collection of Genera which in turn Are collections of species. The Dinosaur s scientific name is bar Onyx Walker. Bar Onyx is latin for heavy claw while Walker denote Walker the plumber the name was published in the British journal nature. Walker found the fossilized Skeleton in january 1983 in a Quarry in Surrey a commuter suburb on London s South West outskirts. Walker 59, who Hunts fossils in his spare time was searching a Clay pit when he found a foot Long claw Bone nearly Wick the size of the claw of the tyrannosaurus Rex most rapacious of the Carni Vorous dinosaurs. Four months later an excavation teamed by Charig unearthed the Bones encased in 53 rocks and ferried them  10 London for cleaning. Calling it the most important Fossil find in Britain or Europe this Century Charig said the Bary Onyn probably roamed Northern Europe Between 100 million and 140 million years ago. The specimen found by Walker was 124 Mil lion years old. Between one half and two thirds of the Skeleton was found including parts of the Skull the lower jaw most of the neck and the shoulder Girdle pans of the forelegs the Backbone and the ribs the hip Girdle and the Back legs. Most of the Tail was missing. A i Ito i a Syf Cir. " " " an artist s Conception of Dinosaur Baryon a Wilkert whose 124 million year old Bones were found in sumy England the head was very Large More like a crocodiles except that the Crocodile s Skull is flattened from top to Bottom ours is flattened from left to right Side ways Chang said. The Dinosaur probably spent most of its Lime on All fours by the River using its snout and perhaps its Large claw to catch fish he said recalling grizzly bears that swipe fish out of the River with their clawed paws. The fact that we found some fish Scales that seemed to be partly digested inside the animal s rib Cage also supports this idea of a fish eat ing existence it appeared to have just one pair of enlarged claws specialized for use As a weapon offence or defense he said. The claw itself would have been even larger there would have been a Home Sheath going Over the claw Bon but this would have rotted he said. The creature had 128 Teeth about twice As Many As the average flesh eating Dino Saur with the biggest Teeth at the front Charig said. The greatly elongated snout with nostrils set about six inches Back is very typical Offish eating animals he said. It May even have been a scavenger. And used its Long nose for poking into he rotting carcasses of other Ani Mals he said. The sex of the specimen discovered by Walker is not known but it appears to have been an adult and it Likely died of natural causes or was drowned Charig  Dinosaur skeletons Are found in Central North America or Asia on ground that has been above sea level for Many millions of years Charig said. Much of Britain was under Walcer 100 million lot 50 million years ago. This is Only the second carnivorous Dinosaur of reasonable completeness found in this country and indeed Large carnivorous dinosaurs anywhere in the world have not been found in lower cretaceous Rock he said. Lower cretaceous Isa period of time used by palaeontologists. The Skeleton is not expected to be fully cleaned and ready for Public View until the Early 1990s, Charig said.
