Skeletal reconstruction of Albertosaurus showing the hind leg and foot. The upper foot bones of this Albertosaurus are locked together for strength, perhaps to withstand the stresses of running

Baryonyx skeleton
The Baryonyx which lived during the Lower Cretaceous was a bipedal carnivore which had a set of sharp teeth as well as a 30cm claw on each forehand. Illustration by Jo Konopelko
