Check out the Trailer for Epoch Now's "The Bone Wars"

In our first ever episode, we cover an older publication made in 2021, describing two brand new Baryonychine Spinosaurids from the Wessex Formation, located in the Isle of Wight, England.

Named Ceratosuchops inferodios and Riparovenator milneri, both Spinosaurs have enough diagnostic material to be considered as different genera thanks to both animals being known from partial braincases.

What makes both genera special is that their time range indicates a European origin for Spinosauridae. In addition, anatomical traits reveal that they are phylogenetically related to the African Suchomimus, creating the first ever Spinosaurid subgroup within Baryonychinae, aptly named Ceratosuchopsini.
