Everything Dinosaur team members are delighted to announce a new dinosaur model from our chums PNSO.  A replica of Baryonyx walkeri is to be introduced.  It will be available from Everything Dinosaur in a few weeks.  A spokesperson from the UK-based mail order company commented that Maxim the Baryonyx was the latest theropod model to be manufactured by PNSO.

The Baryonyx figure measures twenty-four centimetres in length. It has an estimated head height of around nine centimetres. The dinosaur model has an articulated lower jaw. It comes with an A3 Sci-Art poster and a sixty-four-page, full-colour booklet. Everything Dinosaur customers will also receive a free Baryonyx walkeri fact sheet with purchases.

Baryonyx walkeri was formally named and described in 1986 (Charig and Milner). The holotype (NHMUK PV R9951) is one of the most complete large theropod specimens known from Europe. The fossils also represent one of the most complete spinosaurid specimens known to science.

The new PNSO Baryonyx figure is supplied with an A3 Sci-Art poster and a full-colour, sixty-four-page booklet.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that the company would be stocking this new dinosaur model.  He praised the figure stating:

“Maxim the Baryonyx will make a welcome addition to the PNSO model range.  It is great to welcome a Baryonyx figure from PNSO, especially since the company added a Sinopliosaurus, a model of a probable Asian spinosaurid in 2022.”

The PNSO Baryonyx figure had an articulated lower jaw.  The long jaw has the typical shape of a member of the Spinosauridae family of dinosaurs.  Baryonyx is known to have fed on other dinosaurs, but most palaeontologists suspect that the bulk of its diet was fish.
