Comments- A clade containing megalosauroids and avetheropods to the exclusion of basal tetanurines such as Monolophosaurus, Chuandongocoelurus, Piatnitzkysaurus, Condorraptor, "Szechuanoraptor" (now Yangchuanosaurus zigongensis) and/or Xuanhanosaurus has been recognized by most recent analyses (e.g. Rauhut, 2003; Holtz et al., 2004; Smith et al., 2007; Carrano et al., 2012). Carrano et al. finally named it Orionides in 2012.

Referred- ?(MNHN coll.; from Iguallala) (multiple individuals) proximal caudal centrum (65 mm), two mid caudal centra (60, 55 mm) (Lapparent, 1960)
?(MNHN coll.; from In Abangarit) (multiple individuals) three mid caudal centra (60, 55, 50 mm) (Lapparent, 1960)
Diagnosis- (proposed) distal gap between pubes longer than transverse width of pubis. Combination of elongate dorsal centra (posterior dorsal centra >150% longer than tall); pleurocoels in first through third sacral vertebrae; ventral median groove in first through third sacral centra; pubis lacks an obturator foramen; interpubic foramen short, about equal to pubic width; pubic boot short (~19% of pubic length); ischium has an obturator notch.
Comments- Stromer (1934) specifies not only IPHG 1922 X 47 as the type in his text, but also IPHG 1922 X 48. These then become syntypes for the species, though in the plate captions he only indicates 47 is the type. The syntypes were discovered in 1922, though the referred material is from 1911 and 1912. As with all of Stromer's Baharija material, the fossils themselves were destroyed in 1944. Rauhut (2003) claimed no diagnostic characters are apparent in Stromer's figures, so declared Bahariasaurus a nomen dubium. Yet it can be distinguished from all other taxa. The holotype possesses sacral pleurocoels, which are known in very few theropods. "Brontoraptor" (=Torvosaurus?) has them in sacral one, but differs in having no ventral sacral groove, a more robust pubis with obturator foramen, long interpubic foramen and little distal separation of the pubes, and no obturator notch in the ischium. Mapusaurus has pleurocoels in the first sacral as well, but the centra are tall, the ischium has a posterodorsal groove and the obturator process is low. The same can be said for Acrocanthosaurus, which also differs in its robust pubis with long boot and elongate interpubic foramen. Tyrannosaurids sometimes have anterior sacral pleurocoels, but differ in having tall centra, no ventral sacral groove, an elongate interpubic foramen, little distal separation of the pubes, a long pubic boot, and proximodorsal ischial process. Aerosteon has pneumatic sacral centra, but has tall centra, an elongate interpubic foramen, little distal separation of the pubes, and a long pubic boot. Other theropods with sacral pleurocoels are derived coelurosaurs with distally placed obturator processes. Chure (2000) claimed Bahariasaurus was a nomen nudum, but it was clearly established within the guidelines of the ICZN, so is valid.
Description- This refers only to the apparent holotype IPHG 1922 X 47. The two posterior dorsal centra are ~157% and 189% longer than tall and ~82% and ~95% as wide as tall, although both are crushed. Articular ends are very weakly opisthocoelous, so that Stromer described them as basically platycoelous. The dorsal rib fragment has a lenticular distal section and cresentric proximal section due to a developing medial ridge and is stated to be thinner than Spinosaurus'. Only the first three sacrals are preserved, which are fused and platycoelous with the fourth sacral unfused to them. Sacral centra are very elongate, with centra 1 and 3 being 193% and 200% longer than tall respectively, but about as wide as long with values of 108% and 89%. Carrano and Sampson (2008) said Stromer reported that both Bahariasaurus and Ceratosaurus "shared an unusual constriction of the vertebral centra", but Stromer actually wrote it was the elongation that was shared. Sacrals two and three have minimum central widths of 83% and 86% of sacral one. All preserved sacrals have a longitudinally elongate pleurocoel and a ventral median groove. The pubes are preserved lacking the proximal edges. The shaft is stated to have little curvature in lateral view and has a symphysis extending ~65% of its length. Distal to this there is an interpubic fenestra and the distal ends are separated as well. The pubic boot is stated to be small, and is posteriorly transversely narrow and more proximally placed than the distal pubic end. While the proximal ends are incomplete, enough of the posterior margin is preserved to show there were no obturator or pubic fenestrae. A laterally projected pubic tubercle is placed closer to the proximal end than to the symphysis, and the shaft proximal to the symphysis is anterolaterally-posteromedially compressed with the transverse axis 85% the diameter of the sagittal axis. Distally, the pubes show no obvious expansion or compression at the level of the boot. The ischium has no proximodorsal process but does have a low mid dorsal process slightly distal to the obturator process. While incomplete preserved, there is a proximally placed obturator process. Stromer states there is a deep pit in the ilial peduncle. The lateral surface dorsal to the obturator process is strongly concave, forming a fossa whose edge which continues distally as a strong ridge in the ventral half of the shaft.
Referred specimens- Stromer (1934) referred several specimens to Bahariasaurus. The posterior cervical IPHG 1922 X 48a is strongly opisthocoelous, lacks a ventral keel and has single pleurocoels which are not axially elongate. The parapophysis is placed directly ventral to the pleurocoel, and the anterior articular ball lacks the peripheral band of megalosauroids. The posterior dorsals IPHG 1922 X 48b and c seem too large to belong to the same individual as 48a, and have single pleurocoels and no obvious parapophyses. 48c has a neural spine without basal webbing or an I-beam section, and lacks accessory centrodiapophyseal laminae. There does seem to be a weak posterodorsal ridge lateral to the hyposphene. The pubis IPHG 1922 X 48 B is basically straight and similar to the holotype in lacking proximal fenestrae, though the ischial peduncle is slightly curved distally. The distal boot is broken posteriorly but has almost no anterior extension. Stromer feels these vertebrae "obviously" belong to Bahariasaurus and states the pubis is "very similar". Proximal ischium IPHG 1912 VIII 74 shows slight differences from the holotype which Stromer thought might be explained by sexual dimorphism but which are comparable to individual variation in other theropods. Stromer states posterior dorsals IPHG 1912 VIII 62a-c only differ from the holotype in being posteriorly broader and larger, which he attributes sensibly to positional and ontogenetic variation. Along with these, caudals IPHG 1912 VIII 62d-f were all found in the same layer and are of the right size to derive from one individual. Proximal caudal centrum IPHG 1912 VIII 62d is amphicoelous with a pair of pleurocoels and ventral groove. Stromer distinguishes it from Carcharodontosaurus based on the ventral groove, but this is known to vary within the tail of other theropods. The supposed proximal caudal neural arch IPHG 1912 VIII 62e is very unlike theropod caudals, but similar to the tenth cervical of e.g. Neovenator and Allosaurus in the broad diamond-shaped postzygapophyseal-spine region and broadly triangular diapophyses. The neural spine is very low. Caudal vertebra IPHG 1912 VIII 62f has central proportions similar to the 7th of Majungasaurus and 20th of Allosaurus, but has an extremely reduced neural spine compared to those taxa and no accessory anterior spine. The amphicoelous centrum lacks pleurocoels or a ventral groove. The partial ilium IPHG 1912 VIII 62 is not illustrated and the description lacks useful details. A proximal pubis is given the same number, though there is no mention of association. It's very similar to IPHG 1922 X 48 B and no doubt belonged to the same taxon. IPHG 1912 VIII 83a-b were referred to Bahariasaurus based on the similarity to IPHG 1912 VIII 62f, though considered to be juvenile. Small proximal ischium IPHG 1911 XII 23 was referred to juvenile Bahariasaurus as well, and is difficult to compare though its ilial peduncle is longer than the holotype or IPHG 1912 VIII 74. The pubis IPHG 1912 VIII 81 was referred to Bahariasaurus by Stromer and stated to be "generally very similar to it", but differs several ways. Bahariasaurus has a less conspicuous and more proximally placed lateral flaring (15% down the shaft, compared to 21%). The distal end is not flared laterally. There is an extensive separation of the pubic shafts distally, and the interpubic foramen is more distally placed (80% down the shaft, vs. 71%). Chure (2000) also questioned the referral of this pubis due to its sinuous curve in lateral view. There are several specimens Stromer questionably refers to the genus as well. IPHG 1912 VIII 60 (also 60a-h) is an associated skull fragment, eight caudal vertebrae, centrum and scapulocoracoid, of which the caudals may belong but the scapulocoracoid seems spinosaurid. IPHG 1912 VIII 69 is a large femur and IPHG 1912 VIII 70 is a large fibula that is avetheropodan or ceratosaurian. Neither can be compared to Bahariasaurus but are similar to Deltadromeus, the femur sharing a couple apomorphies with that genus.
Lapparent (1960) referred additional remains to this taxon. The centrum from In Abangarit seems to have a pleurocoel, but could equally belong to Carcharodontosaurus. Three caudal centra from Iguallala have no particular characters assigning them to any theropod clade.
Rauhut (1995) mentioned cf. Bahariasaurus vertebrae which were later described as Carcharodontosauridae indet. (Vb-607) by Rauhut (1999). This was compared to IPHG 1912 VIII 62d, which is referred to Bahariasaurus without good reason to not refer it to Carcharodontosaurus.
Relationships- Rauhut (1995) referred Bahariasaurus to the Carnosauria (his Allosauroidea) based on a few characters. The absence of a distal pubic symphysis in Bahariasaurus was conflated with the interpubic fenestra in Allosaurus and Sinraptor, whereas all tetanurines except some derived coelurosaurs have interpubic fenestrae and Bahariasaurus has an apomorphically long distal symphyseal gap. The absence of a pubic obturator foramen is found in allosaurian carnosaurs, but also in Marshosaurus, Eustreptospondylus, spinosaurids and most coelurosaurs among tetanurines. The form of the anterior trochanter is based on referred avetheropod specimen IPHG 1912 VIII 69 which may be a carnosaur, but is not necessarily Bahariasaurus. He placed the genus in Carcharodontosauridae based on the presence of caudal pleurocoels, but these are also known in Torvosaurus and megaraptorans among non-maniraptorans. Thus there is no evidence Bahariasaurus is a carnosaur.
Paul (1988) placed Bahariasaurus in his Allosauridae paraphyletic to Tyrannosauridae, as the genus closest to the latter family. This was based on the "classic allosaur" femur IPHG 1912 VIII 69 which is questionably referred, the referred fibula IPHG 1912 VIII 70 "of the tyrannosaur mold", and the supposedly "very narrow" pubes like tyrannosaurs. Yet the pubes of Monolophosaurus, Sinraptor and various coelurosaurs are equally narrow. A similar position was suggested by Kurzanov (1989), on the basis of a few characters. Non-opisthocoelous ('amphicoelous') dorsals are only known posteriorly in Bahariasaurus, as in most theropods. The supposedly centrally positioned neural processes are not placed differently than Allosaurus. The "drastic widening of the acromial region of the scapula" is based on referred probable spinosaurid specimen IPHG 1912 VIII 60, and is not evident from that specimen due to breakage. Molnar et al. (1990) repeated these, stating amphicoelous anterior dorsals were a character, but this region is unknown in Bahariasaurus. Similarly, the second character was restated as centrally (instead of distally) placed neural spines in distal caudals, when none are known from Bahariasaurus. The anteriorly oriented fibular tubercle is plesiomorphic for theropods. Chure (2000) repeated these characters, but also claimed Bahariasaurus had a triangular obturator process when the shape is unpreserved. Chure also proposed an extremely narrow scapular blade (based on referred probable spinosaurid specimen IPHG 1912 VIII 60) and a longitudinal ridge on the lateral ischium (in the type and IPHG 1912 VIII 74). This ridge is seemingly the one over the obturator region and at least somewhat more distally. Tyrannosaurus does have a version of this over the distal obturator area, which is also found in Guanlong, Juratyrant, Aviatyrannis and Yutyrannus. Yet this is also found in Torvosaurus, Neovenator, giganotosaurines, Huaxiagnathus and Ornitholestes so is not a tyrannosauroid character. This leads to no characters suggesting tyrannosauroid affinities.
Holtz et al. (2004) referred Bahariasaurus to Avetheropoda based on the obturator process, but this is also found in Eustreptospondylus and Afrovenator. The obturator notch in the pubis was said to be like allosaurians and coelurosaurs, but as noted above this is also present in Marshosaurus, Eustreptospondylus and spinosaurids. The interpubic foramen was also said to be like these clades, but this is present in all tetanurines except some derived coelurosaurs. Within Tetanurae, no characters of Bahariasaurus are unique to avetheropods.
Sereno et al. (1996) compared Bahariasaurus to their new taxon Deltadromeus, which has led to discussion of synonymy. The referred Bahariasaurus coracoid IPHG 1912 VIII 60, pubes IPHG 1912 VIII 81, femur IPHG 1912 VIII 69 and fibula IPHG 1912 VIII 70 were all referred to Deltadromeus by Sereno et al., which has also led to the comparison. Sereno et al. (1996) distinguished the genera using three characters, two of which were due to his misidentification of Deltadromeus' distal ischium as a pubis. The other is the narrower ilial peduncle of Bahariasaurus' ischium. The holotype of Tyrannosaurus has a narrower ilial peduncle on the ischium than referred specimens AMNH 5027 and RTMP 81.61, so this character falls within individual variation. While this has been viewed as possible evidence of synonymy, there is very little that can be compared between the genera. Besides undescribed pubic fragments of Deltadromeus, only the proximal ischium and mid caudals can be compared, which are schematically illustrated in Deltadromeus. Carrano and Sampson (2008) claimed Stromer said Bahariasaurus and neoceratosaurs "both shared an unusual constriction of the vertebral centra", but as noted above it is elongation that Stromer noted, which is also present in e.g. coelurosaurs. When entered into Tortosa et al.'s ceratosaur matrix, Bahariasaurus emerges sister to the only tetanurine Allosaurus, suggesting it is not a ceratosaur.
When entered into a modified version of Caranno et al's tetanurine matrix, Bahariasaurus emerges as an orionidan excluded from Piatnitzkysauridae, Megalosaurinae, Spinosauridae and Acrocanthosaurus+Carcharodontosaurinae. Further resolution depends on including more characters in analyses, especially around basal Coelurosauria.

C. newmanorum Benson and Radley, 2010
= "Cruxicheiros newmanorum" Benson and Radley, 2009 online
Early Bathonian, Middle Jurassic
Chipping Norton Limestone Formation, England
Holotype
- (WARMS G15770) partial femur
Paratype- ....(WARMS G15771) partial posterior cervical or anterior dorsal vertebra, incomplete dorsal neural arch, partial dorsal vertebra, several rib fragments, partial distal caudal vertebra, fragmentary scapulocoracoid, metacarpal (lost), partial ilium, proximal pubis, fibula (lost), fragments
Diagnosis- (after Benson and Radley, 2010) proximomedially inclined ridge within trochanteric fossa of femur.
Comments- The description of Cruxicheiros was realeased online in November 2009, though it was not officially published on paper until March 2010.
Benson and Radley (2010) found Cruxicheiros to be a tetanurine outside Megalosauria+Piatnitzkysauridae+Monolophosaurus+Chuandongocoelurus and Avetheropoda, though only one more step was needed to place it in Megalosauridae (as a eustreptospondyline). Additionally, only 3 more steps were needed to place it sister to Megalosaurus, showing numerous affinities are possible. Adding it to Carrano et al.'s (2012) matrix recovered Cruxicheiros as an orionidan outside Spinosauridae and Avetheropoda.

Dandakosaurus Yadagiri, 1982
D. indicus Yadagiri, 1982
Hettangian-Pliensbachian, Early Jurassic
Kota Formation, India

Holotype- (GSI 1/54Y/76) proximal pubis
Paratypes- ?(GSI coll.) lateral tooth, dorsal vertebra (160 mm), proximal caudal vertebra (150 mm), proximal ischium
Diagnosis- open obturator notch in pubis; anteroproximal flaring and smoothly convex proximal surface of pubis; more proximally placed obturator notch than Patagonykus.
Description- The illustrated tooth is typical of most theropods in being laterally compressed, recurved and having fine serrations. The tooth seems more compressed (30% of FABL) than most theropods (eg. Liliensternus airelensis, Gojirasaurus, Dilophosaurus, Magnosaurus, Torvosaurus, Szechuanosaurus), though Liliensternus liliensterni is similar in this regard. Though interdental variation could be a factor here, as posterior teeth are known to be more laterally compressed in theropods, Dilophosaurus and Magnosaurus never reach a Dandakosaurus level of compression anywhere in the tooth row.
The dorsal vertebra is opisthocoelous and lacks a pleurocoel. Opisthocoelous dorsals are only known in non-tyrannoraptoran tetanurines (the exception is Parvicursorinae), suggesting Dandakosaurus is a member of this clade. The absence of a pleurocoel is of little use without positional data.
The caudal vertebra is amphicoelous, with "two lateral cavities on either side" and a keeled ventral surface. The first character is common in theropods. The second is only known in Spinostropheus, Carcharodontosaurus, megaraptorans, Patagonykus, caenagnathoids and Achillobator. Keeled proximal caudal centra are known in at least torvosaurs and carnosaurs.
The holotype proximal pubis has several odd characters. There is no obturator fenestra, just an open obturator notch, as in Elaphrosaurus, Eustreptospondylus, Suchomimus, Allosaurus, carcharodontosaurids and most coelurosaurs. The proximal border forms a smooth convex arch from the ilial contact to the ischia contact, with no distinct peduncles. This is approached in some coelophysoids (eg. Coelophysis longicollis referred specimen) and Archaeornithomimus, but is most similar to Patagonykus, Unenlagia and Achillobator. Proximally, the pubis flares sharply anteriorly to form an acute anteroproximal corner. This is similar to the situation in Coelurus, tyrannosaurids, Caudipteryx, Nanshiungosaurus and alvarezsaurids. It seems to only be developed in forms with somewhat mesopubic pelvic orientations. Additional evidence for mesopuby in Dandakosaurus may come from the possible pubic peduncle of the ischium, which fits the ischial surface of the pubis to form an angle of about 35 degrees between the bones.
Only the proximal portion of the ischium is preserved. There is a concave anterior margin which matches up with the ischial peduncular area of the pubis. No other area is appropriate for the pubic contact, though Yadagiri seems to have identified this as the area between the pubic peduncle and obturator process. If the concave area were the acetabulum, the pubis and ischium would be subparallel. Articulating the pubis more dorsoposteriorly on the ischium leaves nowhere for an acetabular surface or ischial peduncle. The acetabular surface is small and sharply concave, so may be broken and continuous with the ischial peduncle in life. The posterior surface is gently concave, while the anterior surface is broken.
Comments- This was excavated in 1958-1961 and first mentioned by Jain et al. (1962) as "a carnosaur ... less well represented than the sauropod in this first collection. Judging by its pelvis, it should prove to be of about the same size as the well-known Antrodemus valens ... that is, more than 30 ft. long."  The phylogenetic relationships of this taxon are uncertain, especially considering how advanced it seems for its age. When entered into Carrano et al.'s (2012) matrix, it emerges as an orionidan excluded from Piatnitzkysauridae, Megalosaurinae, Spinosauridae, Yangchuanosaurus, derived metriacanthosaurines and Allosauria. The possibility elements have been misidentified or derive from more than one taxon (such as a sauropodomorph) should not be excluded. It is one of the earliest tetanurines. Previous suggestions regarding abelisauroid affinity (Aravind, DML 1997) were based on maxillary characters unknown in the specimen. Where Aravind got his data is unknown, but it can be considered irrelevant now that the known material has been determined.

"Megalosaurus" hungaricus Nopcsa, 1902
Coniacian-Santonian, Late Cretaceous
unnamed formation, Romania

Holotype- (MAFI ob. 3106, lost) tooth (~22 mm)
Comments- This species was discovered in an unnamed formation, not the later Sinpetru Formation as is often stated (Csiki and Grigorescu, 1998). Carrano et al. (2012) note the widely spaced distal serrations may be diagnostic, and the high DSDI (1.25) resembles basal tyrannosauroids and dromaeosaurids. This is also found in Marshosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus and Falcarius however, so the taxon is provisionally assigned to Orionides incertae sedis.

Of these, the straighter dorsal ilial margin and broadly exposed medial wall of the brevis shelf are seen in Eustreptospondylus, while the long ischial peduncle is also present in Yangchuanosaurus zigongensis. The lower ilial blade are seen in both. Contra Pickering, the pubic peduncle is not noticably longer nor the subpreacetabular notch more open than in Metriacanthosaurus.
Comments- Lydekker (1888) referred a metatarsal III (NHMUK R413) from the Chipping Norton Formation to Megalosaurus bucklandi. Gardiner (1937, 1938) and Reynolds (1938) reported large theropod remains from two quarries in the Chipping Norton Limestone Formation, which Reynolds (1939) described and referred to Megalosaurus. Pickering (1995) credited the name Metriacanthosaurus reynoldsi to Welles, Powell and Pickering in his 1995 unpublished bibliographic manuscript. It was later used in the comparative section of another unpublished manuscript (Welles and Pickering, 1999). This paper was largely extracted from the European megalosaur manuscript Welles and Powell worked on in the 1970s but never published, specifically the Megalosaurus redescription section. Pickering intends to publish an updated version of the megalosaur manuscript as Mutanda Dinosaurologica, and has posted small excerpts including the diagnosis of Metriacanthosaurus "reynoldsi" online (DML, 2002). In any case, the name is a nomen nudum as Pickering didn't follow ICZN Article 8.1.3- it must have been produced in an edition containing simultaneously obtainable copies by a method that assures numerous identical and durable copies. The 1999 paper shows his new taxon to be based on all the Chipping Norton theropod material from both quarries, as well as NHMUK R413, scapula OUM J.29800 and a few other elements. Day and Barrett (2004) believed both their Megalosaurus femoral morphotypes A and B were present in the sample- SDM 44.23 as morphotype B and SDM 44.24 as morphotype A. Benson (2009, 2010) referred the New Park Quarry material to Megalosaurus bucklandii based on the close resemblence of maxilla SDM 44.1 to Taynton Limestone specimens and an M. bucklandii autapomorphy in sacrum SDM 44.4, while other elements were provisionally referred as there is no evidence of more than one taxon in the quarry. These additional elements are- maxilla NHMUK R8303, anterior dentary NHMUK R8304, partial dentary NHMUK R8305, proximal ischium NHMUK R9668, proximal caudal vertebrae NHMUK R9672-9673, partial anterior cervical vertebra NHMUK R9674, mid caudal vertebrae NHMUK R9675-9676, proximal caudal vertebra NHMUK R9677, mid caudal vertebra SDM 44.5, coracoids SDM 44.14-15, humerus SDM 44.18, femur SDM 44.24 and distal metatarsal IV 44.25. NHMUK R413 and OUM J.29800 were also referred to M. bucklandii based on autapomorphies. Additional New Park Quarry material referred by Welles and Pickering to "reynoldsi" but not mentioned by Benson is here provisionally referred to Megalosaurus- sacra NHMUK R9679 and R9680 and dorsal SDM 44.10. Finally, Benson (2010) referred two specimens from Oakham Quarry to M. bucklandii based on autapomorphies (ischium SDM 44.20 and metatarsal III NHMUK R9665), but refrained from referring additional elements from this quarry as he notes some "can be referred to a second, unnamed taxon (R. B. J. Benson, unpubl. data)." This near certainly refers to "reynoldsi", whose intended holotype is an ilium from Oakham Quarry (SDM 44.19). Further study by Benson and/or Pickering may clarify the identity of the other Oakham Quarry elements. Welles and Pickering also referred several elements from other quarries to "reynoldsi"- dorsal GSM 37523, scapula SDM 34.17 and humerus 44.22 from the Chipping Norton Formation, and proximal caudals OUM J13720 and J.29799 from the Sharp's Hill Formation. These are provisionally placed as Tetanurae incertae sedis here until their descriptions are published.
The identity of SDM 44.19 is difficult to determine from the published illustration, since many useful ilial characters would only be visible in medial or ventral views. However, it is a tetanurine based on the lack of a strong crest between the supracetabular crest and brevis fossa, and is not a coelurosaur based on the large ischial peduncle and widely exposed brevis fossa in lateral view. It differs from Megalosaurus and Metriacanthosaurus in many of the same ways- broad medial wall to the acetabulum, especially posteriorly; longer ischial peduncle; broad esposure of medial wall of the brevis fossa; low ilial blade. It is more similar to Metriacanthosaurus in the wide subpreacetabular notch, and anteroposteriorly wide ischial peduncle, but shares a series of short vertical ridges above the acetabulum with Megalosaurus (albeit more pronounced). Pickering's (DML, 2002) only ilial character for Metriacanthosaurus is "ilium + ischium fused", which isn't true of M. parkeri or "reynoldsi." Thus is seems whatever "reynoldsi" is, there's no reason to refer it to Metriacanthosaurus. A greater resemblence is seen to Eustreptospondylus, which shares the broad esposure of medial wall of the brevis fossa and low ilial blade. Another similar ilium is that of Yangchuanosaurus zigongensis, which shares the broad medial wall to the acetabulum, longer ischial peduncle, and low ilial blade. Which of these two taxa it is more closely related to will require study of the specimen itself and additional specimens from Oakham Quarry. Adding it to Carrano et al.'s (2012) matrix results in it being a non-carcharodontosaurid, non-coelurosaur orionidan.
The illustrated Oakham tooth (NHMUK or SDM colls) is short (height/FABL 1.66) and moderately recuved with perpendicular serrations on at least the apical half of the distal carina. Only light longitudinal striations are indicated on the enamel. At least one of the scapulae mentioned by Reynolds (SDM 44.16 or 44.17) is unfused to the coracoid, though it is unknown if this one was from Oakham Quarry.

"Yunyangosaurus" Dai and Xu, 2019
"Y. puanensis" Dai and Xu, 2019
Aalenian, Middle Jurassic
Laojun Village, Xintiagou Formation, Chongqing, China
Material- (CLGPR V00002) (subadult) (~4.7 m) axis (58 mm), third/fourth cervical vertebra (69 mm), partial fifth cervical vertebra (68 mm), partial sixth cervical vertebra (54 mm), seventh cervical vertebra (70 mm), ninth cervical vertebra (58 mm), tenth cervical vertebra (61 mm), two proximal cervical ribs, incomplete first dorsal neural arch (61 mm), second dorsal centrum (52 mm), third dorsal vertebra (60 mm), incomplete mid dorsal vertebra (63 mm), several partial dorsal ribs, three chevrons
Diagnosis- (after Dai et al., 2020) mediolateral width of axial centrum tapers ventrally, resulting in subtriangular outline in posterior view; axis with an accessory medial spinopostzygapophyseal lamina; ball-like structure at base of anterior margin of axial neural spine; ventral median ridge present in anterior cervicals (also in Marshosaurus); posterior pneumatic foramen or fossa present in some cervical centra (also in Piatnitzkysaurus and Condorraptor); prominent epipophyses present in posterior cervicals; cervical epipophyses not angled laterally; posterior cervical and anterior dorsal vertebrae with transversely bifurcated neural spines (also in anterior dorsals of Condorraptor, Marshosaurus and Piatnitzkysaurus); fossae immediately ventral to anterior dorsal parapophyses.
Comments- This was discovered in 2016 and first announced as a new theropod from Yunyang County (Global Times, 2019; the new ornithopod being Sanxiasaurus CLGPR V00003 and the plesiosaur Pliosauroidea indet. CLGPR V00004) and named by Dai and Xu (2019) in an SVP abstract, as a new taxon of megalosaurid.  Unfortunately, ICZN Article 9.10 states "materials issued primarily to participants at meetings (e.g. symposia, colloquia, congresses, or workshops), including abstracts and texts of presentations or posters" do not count as published works, making "Yunyangosaurus puanensis" Dai and Xu, 2019 a nomen nudum.  It was later described in detail by Dai et al. (2020) and named again as if new without mention of the SVP abstract, but this paper has no mention of ZooBank and as of January 21 2020 "Yunyangosaurus" lacks an entry on the ZooBank website.  Thus according to ICZN Article 8.5.3 (an electronic work must "be registered in the Official Register of Zoological Nomenclature (ZooBank) (see Article 78.2.4) and contain evidence in the work itself that such registration has occurred"), "Yunyangosaurus puanensis" Dai et al., 2020 is also a nomen nudum that will only be technically valid pending action on behalf of the authors or ICZN as its journal is not published physically.
Dai et al. added "Yunyangosaurus" to Carrano et al.'s tetanurine analysis and recovered it as a tetanurine closer to birds than Chuandongocoelurus but excluded from piatnitzkysaurids, spinosaurids, allosauroids and neocoelurosaurs.  A weighted analysis found it in a polytomy with all megalosaurid genera.

unnamed orionidan (Galton and Molnar, 2005)
Middle Bathonian, Middle Jurassic
Stonesfield Slate, England

Material- (OUM J28971) incomplete ilium
Comments- Galton and Molnar (2005) described OUM J28971 as a specimen of Iliosuchus. Benson (2009) believed OUM J28971 was from a different taxon because its lateral ilial ridge is more vertical, there are accessory ridges anterior and posterior to it, and the brevis fossa is visible laterally at the base of the postacetabular process. The latter difference is more accurately expressed by saying the brevis fossa of the holotype does not extend as close to the ischial peduncle, though even in OUM J28971 it is very shallow and laterally angled there. Additional differences are- the pubic peduncle of OUM J28971 is much wider compared to the length of its articular surface when compared to OUM J29780, and has a posteriorly concave edge on its articular surface; the pubic peduncle is less anteriorly oriented than the holotype. Carrano et al. (2012) agreed with Benson and also proposed larger size as a distinguishing character, but this could be ontogenetic as the age of all specimens is unknown.
Benson merely said this is Theropoda indet., but Carrano et al. specified it further as Tetanurae indet.. Indeed when added to Carrano et al.'s matrix it emerges as a non-piatnitzkysaurid, non-allosaurian orionidan. As most of the characters which differ from Iliosuchus are shared with Megalosaurus and both are found in the same formation, OUM J28971 may be a juvenile of that taxon.

Definition- (Megalosaurus bucklandii <- Passer domesticus)
Comments- Spinosauroidea is the name most commonly given to the megalosaur-spinosaur clade from 1994 to 2010, based on analyses which usually excluded Megalosaurus during the period of time most workers restricted the name to the lectotype dentary and thus excluded it from most analyses. However, according to the ICZN, a superfamily containing Megalosaurus must be called Megalosauroidea. The issue is complicated by the fact Spinosauroidea was originally given a node-based definition, while Megalosauroidea has been given a more inclusive stem-based definition.
Sereno (in press) suggested using Spinosauria for a stem-based clade including Spinosauroidea but excluding avetheropods, in case taxa like eustreptospondylines or Poekilopleuron fall outside the Torvosaurus+Spinosaurus clade. This is similar to his prior use of Torvosauroidea (to contain Afrovenator plus what is now defined as Spinosauroidea) and to Holtz et al.'s and Allain et al.'s stem-based version of Spinosauroidea. However, Megalosauroidea has priority over all of those names and was defined this way by Benson (2010), with the Torvosaurus+Spinosaurus clade now named Megalosauria.

unnamed megalosauroid (Molnar, Angriman and Gasparini, 1996)
Coniacian-Santonian, Late Cretaceous
Hidden Lake Formation, James Ross Island, Antarctica
Material
- (MLP 89-XII-1-1) (~3 m) distal tibia
Comments- Molnar et al. (1996) believed this was from a megalosauroid or basal carnosaur (due to placing Piatnitzkysaurus in the clade). Carrano et al. (2012) agreed with the similarities, and suggested it was megalosauroid as they placed Piatnitzkysaurus in that clade.

Definition- (Piatnitzkysaurus floresi <- Megalosaurus bucklandii, Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, Allosaurus fragilis)
Diagnosis- (after Carrano et al., 2012) short or absent anterior maxillary ramus; two parallel rows of nutrient foramina on lateral surface of maxilla; vertically striated or ridged paradental plates (also in Megalosaurus); no axial pleurocoels; moderate development of axial diapophyses; reduced axial parapophyses (also in Eustreptospondylus and Afrovenator); anteriorly inclined posterior dorsal neural spines; canted distal humeral condyles (also in Poekilopleuron).
Comments- Smith et al. (2007) recovered Piatnitzkysaurus and Condorraptor in a clade, while Benson (2008, 2010) found Marshosaurus to be related as well. Carrano et al. (2012) named the latter group Piatnitzkysauridae.
Currie and Zhao (1994) advanced the idea Piatnitzkysaurus was an abelisaurid, which is unlike all other authors who believe it to be tetanurine. Holtz (1995), Rauhut (2003) and Smith et al. (2007; with Condorraptor) found Piatnitzkysaurus to be a non-orionidan tetanurine. Benson (2008, 2010) and Carrano et al. (2012) found piatnitzkysaurids to be non-megalosaurian megalosauroids in their large analyses, which is provisionally accepted here. Both Bonaparte (1979) and Gao (1999) place Piatnitzkysaurus in Megalosauridae itself, and Holtz et al. (2004) found it to be a eustreptospondyline/afrovenatorine in his analysis. Paul (1988), Novas (1992), Perez-Moreno et al. (1993) and Holtz (2000) all find Piatnitzkysaurus to be a tetanurine closer to avetheropods than megalosauroids. Molnar et al. (1981) placed Piatnitzkysaurus in his Allosauridae, which is equivalent to modern Allosauroidea. Holtz (1992) found Piatnitzkysaurus to be a non-allosaurian carnosaur. While listed under Allosauridae in Kurzanov (1989) and Molnar et al. (1990), the text indicates they viewed Piatnitzkysaurus as a carnosaur outside Allosaurus+Tyrannosaurus. Bonaparte (1986) in his monograph of the genus placed it in an Allosauridae oddly expanded to include Dilophosaurus, but not Ceratosaurus or Torvosaurus.
Using Carrano et al.'s analysis to test the liklihood of alternate topologies, moving piatnitzkysaurids into Carnosauria is only 2 steps longer (megalosauroids follow), and in this case they are sister to allosauroids. It also takes 2 steps to move them sister to Avetheropoda. Enforcing a non-orionidan position leads to trees 3 steps longer, meaning any of these topologies is easily possible. Megalosaurid piatnitzkysaurids are 4 steps longer, and further enforcing them as afrovenatorines is 6 steps longer, so increasingly less likely but still possible. Placing them as closer to Allosauria than metriacanthosaurids as in Kurzanov and Molnar et al. is 18 steps longer though, and thus implausible. Making Piatnitzkysaurus an abelisaurid (only Condorraptor follows unlike previous tests where Marshosaurus does as well) is 56 steps more, so near certainly wrong.

Gasosaurus Dong and Tang, 1985
G. constructus Dong and Tang, 1985
Bajocian, Middle Jurassic
Dashanpu, Xiashaximiao Formation, Sichuan, China

Holotype- (IVPP V7264) four cervical centra, seven dorsal vertebrae, first sacral vertebra, second sacral vertebra, third sacral vertebra, fourth sacral vertebra, fifth sacral vertebra, seven caudal vertebrae, humerus, ilium, pubis (345 mm), ischium (305 mm), femur (425 mm), tibia (370 mm), fibula, astragalus, metatarsal II, metatarsal III, pedal ungual IV
Paratype- ?(IVPP V7265) three teeth
Referred- material (Holtz, 2000)
Comments- Traditionally associated with megalosauroids, Holtz (2000) found it to be a basal coelurosaur in his analyses. This was based on the upturned femoral head, anterior trochanter cleft from the head, and proximal fibula being >75% the proximal tibial width. However, he also indicated new undescribed specimens suggest Gasosaurus is a carnosaur, perhaps a sinraptorid (Currie pers. comm. 1998 to Holtz). Carrano et al. (2012) found that the proximal femur is broken, so that the seemingly high anterior trochanter is an illusion. They believed it most likely to be a non-coelurosaur tetanurine and stated the holotype is being restudied (Hone pers. comm. to Carrano et al.).  Hartman et al. (2019) recovered it sister to Piatnitzkysaurus and Condorraptor, although non-maniraptoromorph characters were poorly sampled.  It is provsionally placed there pending future analysis.

Diagnosis- (after Carrano et al., 2012)
Comments- Marshosaurus was originally based on pelvic elements, with cranial elements tentatively referred, all from the Cleveland-Lloyd Quarry of Utah (Madsen, 1976). The holotype ilium was discovered in 1962, along with paratypes UMNH VP 380, 6367, 6368, 6374, 6379 and 7820.  Britt (1991) described a caudal vertebra from the Dry Mesa Quarry of Colorado which resembled others from the Cleveland-Lloyd Quarry. He tentatively referred these to Marshosaurus, with another form (BYUVP 5073, 5103 and 8908) referred to Stokesosaurus. However, these identifications may be switched. Chure et al. (1993) noted a medium-sized partial skeleton found in the Brushy Basin Member of Dinosaur National Monument, stating the camerate vertebral pneumatization is primitive while the braincase pneumatization resembles tyrannosaurids more than Allosaurus or Ceratosaurus. This was described a bit more by Chure et al. (1997), and referred to Marshosaurus based on resemblence to undescribed and questionably referred dorsal neural spines from Cleveland-Lloyd.
Relationships- Madsen (1976) originally left Marshosaurus as Theropoda incertae sedis, but noted resemblences to several coelurosaurs (Coelurus, Microvenator, Velociraptor, Deinonychus). Benson (2008, 2010) and Carrano et al. (2012) have found it to be a non-megalosaurian megalosauroid, related to Piatnitzkysaurus in Piatnitzkysauridae, which is followed here. Russell (1984) included Marshosaurus in the Megalosauridae. Chure et al. (1993) called Marshosaurus a carnosaur, and in 1997 clarified it as a "primitive carnosaur", closer to Megalosaurus and Eustreptospondylus than derived carnosaurs. Paul (1988) placed it closer to Avetheropoda than megalosauroids. Kurzanov (1989) placed Marshosaurus as an allosaurid, though his family may have been paraphyletic to tyrannosaurids. Holtz et al. (2004) found Marshosaurus to be a basal coelurosaur, though with very low support. Interestingly, Paul, Kurzanov and Holtz et al. all believed Marshosaurus was more closely related to Allosaurus than Piatnitzkysaurus, though only the latter had the genera widely separated.
Enforcing Marshosaurus to be sister to Avetheropoda in Carrano et al.'s (2012) matrix is 2 steps longer, as is making it be a carnosaur, and making it be a megalosaurid is 4 steps longer, so all are easily possible. Forcing it to be a coelurosaur takes 12 more steps, and forcing it to be closer to Allosauria than metriacanthosaurids takes 18 more steps, so are both unlikely. All of these end up keeping it in Piatnitzkysauridae. Breaking this up by additionally forcing it to be closer to Allosaurus than Piatnitzkysaurus is unlikely regardless of the alternate placement- sister to Avetheropoda (Piatnitzkysaurus ends up just basal to both as in Paul, 1988) takes 10 more steps; coelurosaur (Piatnitzkysaurus ends up outside Avetheropoda) takes 16 more steps, and closer to Allosauria than metriacanthosaurids (Piatnizkysaurus is a non-allosauroid carnosaur) takes 23 more steps.

Diagnosis- (from Rauhut, 2005) pleurocoel in anterior cervical vertebrae placed behind the posteroventral corner of the parapophyses; large, shallow depression laterally on the base of the cnemial crest; metatarsal IV with a distinct step dorsally between shaft and distal articular facet.
Other diagnoses- Carrano et al. (2012) noted a large nutrient foramen on the lateral side of the ischial peduncle of the ilium is also present in other theropods like Piatnitzkysaurus and Megalosaurus. They also stated the proximal tibia is abraded, making the absence of a posterior notch uncertain.
Comments- Originally ambigiously said to be a basal tetanurine by Rauhut (2005), Smith et al. (2007), Benson (2008, 2010) and Carrano et al. (2012) have all since found it to be a piatnitzkysaurid.

Definition- (Spinosaurus aegyptiacus + Torvosaurus tanneri) (modified)
= Spinosauroidea sensu Sereno, in press
Definition- (Spinosaurus aegyptiacus + Torvosaurus tanneri, - Allosaurus fragilis, Passer domesticus)
Comments- Though originally a term equivalent to Theropoda, this term has been used for two different definitions recently. Allain et al. (2012) defined it as all taxa closer to Dubreuillosaurus valesdunensis and Eustreptospondylus oxoniensis than to Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, Allosaurus fragilis or Passer domesticus. This is equivalent to Megalosauridae in some phylogenies where it is valid, and doesn't include Megalosaurus in other phylogenies (e.g. Holtz, 2000). A month later, Carrano et al. (2012) used this name for the megalosaurid+spinosaurid node. While they did not define it, (Megalosaurus bucklandii + Spinosaurus aegyptiacus) would be the obvious definition and was used by Hendrickx et al. (2015). As this is a more useful clade and always includes its eponymous genus, the latter definition is used here.

Referred- ?...(MNHN 9645) distal femur (Gaudry, 1890)
Diagnosis- (from Allain, 2001) two hypapophyses on anterior dorsal vertebrae; anterior dorsal centra strongly opisthocoelous and strongly flattened; posterior dorsal vertebrae platycoelous; elongate mid and posterior dorsal centra; lateral extension of the medial buttress above the dorsomedial edge of the ascending process of the astragalus doesn’t reach the median part of the distal end of the tibia; large depression at the base of the ascending process of the astragalus; lack of posteromedial process on the astragalus.
Comments- Allain (2001) states "the theropod vertebrae are designed here as a lectotype of this taxon" but then lists all material except the femur as the lectotype, making it uncertain exactly what the lectotype is.
This taxon was recently suggested to be the sister taxon of Eustreptospondylus (Allain, 2001; Smith et al., 2007) based on the presence of carotid processes in their anterior dorsal vertebrae. Benson (2008, 2010) found it to be a member of either Megalosauroidea or Carnosauria, until further data (Benson et al., 2010) placed it in Sinraptoridae sister to Lourinhanosaurus. Their most recent study (Carrano et al., 2012) instead has it a megalosaurian outside Spinosauridae, and Megalosaurinae+Afrovenatorinae (or when properly ordered, Megalosaurinae OR Afrovenatorinae). It only takes 2 more streps to make Streptospondylus an afrovenatorine (though in that case Streptospondylinae has priority for the subfamily name).

unnamed megalosaurian (Janensch, 1925)
Late Tithonian, Late Jurassic
Upper Dinosaur Member of the Tendaguru Formation, Tanzania

Material- (MB R 1926) astragalus (212 mm wide), calcanear fragment
....(MB R 3627; = MW 1) incomplete fibula
Comments- MB R 3627 was originally a syntype of Ceratosaurus roechlingi (Janensch, 1925), though he did not mention the probably associated tarsus. Not only are they too large for the roechlingi type, Rauhut (2011) assigned them to Megalosauroidea based on the basal tetanurine grade astragalus and absent proximomedial fibular fossa. The latter has since been optimized as a megalosaurian character. Other tetanurine material from Tendaguru (e.g. ilium MB R 3628) may belong to the same taxon.

unnamed possible megalosaurian (El-Zouki, 1980)
Hauterivian-Barremian, Early Cretaceous
Cabao Formation,
Jannawan, Libya
Material- posterior dorsal centrum
Comments- El-Zouki (1980) referred a vertebra to ?Spinosaurus sp. as a caudal, but Le Loeuff et al. (2010) note "the published plate (a vertebral centrum in ventral view) does not allow any precise assessment." Carrano et al. (2012) reinterpret it as a posterior dorsal centrum, noting "The proportions match well with the posterior dorsals of Baryonyx and Suchomimus but are relatively shorter than those of Megalosaurus and carcharodontosaurids. The (presumed) ventral surface is only slightly narrower than the centrum, similar to the condition in Megalosaurus and Suchomimus." They "consider it likely that this specimen belongs to the clade Megalosauria."

Comments- Traditionally a large paraphyletic family containing most basal tetanurines and carnosaurs, Megalosauridae has been limited since the late 1980's to include far fewer taxa.

Streptospondylus? cuvieri Owen, 1842
= Megalosaurus cuvieri (Owen, 1842) Huene, 1908
Early Bajocian, Middle Jurassic
Inferior Oolite Formation, England

Holotype- (Kingdon coll.; lost) tooth, partial anterior dorsal vertebra (~114 mm), partial dorsal neural spine, broad flat bone, long bone fragments
Comments- Eustreptospondylus oxoniensis was referred to Streptospondylus cuvieri before it was named. This taxon is not necessary the same as Streptospondylus altdorfensis, which lived later in France. Owen (1842) also referred an anterior dorsal from the Toarcian Jet Rock Formation (Ripley coll.), but this is indeterminate past Tetanurae.
The convex anterior articular surface suggests a tetanurine, while the camerate interior excludes it from Carcharodontosauridae and Megaraptora. The absence of a ventral keel is unlike Piatnitzkysaurus+Condorraptor, megalosaurines+afrovenatorines, spinosaurids and metriacanthosaurines. The large pleurocoel (49% of anterior articular surface height) is like Streptospondylus and megalosaurids, so it is tentatively referred to that clade here. It thus may actually belong to Streptospondylus.

undescribed Megalosauridae (Lubbe, Richter and Kn�tschke, 2009)
Kimmeridgian, Late Jurassic
Langenberg Quarry, Germany
Material
- ?(DFMMh/FV 658) tooth (24.5x8.8x4.8 mm) (Lubbe, Richter and Kn�tschke, 2009)
Kimmeridgian, Late Jurassic
Langenberg Quarry and/or Hannover, Germany

(DFMMH/FV and/or NLMH coll.) teeth
Comments- While seven teeth assigned to Velociraptorinae by Lubbe et al. (2009), Gerke and Wings (2014) found four of these were Neotheropoda indet., megalosaurid and tyrannosauroid. Based on the information in Lubbe et al., FV 658 may be the megalosaurid (larger, elongate crown, more of mesial carina serrated).

Eustreptospondylinae Paul, 1988
Definition- (Eustreptospondylus oxoniensis <- Megalosaurus bucklandii) (Holtz et al., 2004)
Other definitions- (Eustreptospondylus oxoniensis <- Torvosaurus tanneri, Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, Allosaurus fragilis) (Sereno, in press)
Comments- Holtz et al.'s (2004) definition only includes Megalosaurus bucklandii as an external specifier, and I agree with Sereno (in press) that additional ones are useful in case eustreptospondylines are closer to allosaurids than to Megalosaurus (Paul, 1988; Kurzanov, 1989; Molnar et al., 1990; Holtz, 2000). This is especially true considering Megalosaurus' uncertain placement among theropods.

Eustreptospondylus Walker, 1964
E. oxoniensis Walker, 1964
= Magnosaurus oxoniensis (Walker, 1964) Rauhut, 2003
Late Callovian, Middle Jurassic

Holotype- (OUM J13558) (4.63 m, 218 kg; subadult) (partial skull ~483 mm) premaxillae, incomplete maxillae, lacrimal, postorbitals, squamosal, quadrate, frontals, parietal, partial braincase, dentaries, teeth (lost), axis (~44 mm), third cervical vertebra (45 mm), fourth cervical vertebra, fifth cervical centrum (55 mm), sixth cervical centrum (60 mm), seventh cervical centrum (60 mm), eighth cervical vertebra (60 mm), ninth cervical vertebra (60 mm), tenth cervical vertebra (60 mm), first dorsal vertebra (60 mm), second dorsal centrum (62 mm), third dorsal centrum (62 mm), fourth dorsal vertebra, fifth dorsal vertebra (63 mm), sixth dorsal vertebra, seventh dorsal vertebra (74 mm), eighth dorsal centrum (77 mm), ninth dorsal vertebra (78 mm), tenth dorsal vertebra (82 mm), eleventh dorsal centrum (88 mm), first sacral vertebra, third sacral vertebra, fourth sacral vertebra, fifth sacral centrum, first caudal vertebra (~68 mm), second caudal vertebra, third caudal centrum, fourth caudal vertebra, partial fifth caudal centrum, seventh caudal centrum, eighth caudal vertebra, tenth caudal centrum (~68 mm), twelfth caudal centrum (~61 mm), thirteenth caudal centrum (~60 mm), sixteenth caudal vertebra, twenty-first caudal vertebra, scapula (299 mm), humerus (231 mm), ilium (365 mm), pubes (451 mm), ischia (358 mm), femora (498 mm), tibiae (479 mm), fibulae (467 mm), astragali (86 mm wide), calcaneum (lost), metatarsal II (~193 mm), phalanx II-1 (64 mm), phalanx II-2 (~51 mm), metatarsal III (232 mm), phalanx III-1 (80, 85mm), phalanx III-2 (65, 63mm), phalanx III-3 (54 mm), pedal ungual III (54 mm), metatarsal IV (207 mm), phalanx IV-1 (76 mm), phalanx IV-2 (53 mm)
Diagnosis- (after Rauhut, 2000) differs from Magnosaurus in the proximal extent of the pubic symphysis.
(after Sadleir et al., 2008) shallow lacrimal fenestra that incorporates a second smaller foramen; fossa on posterolateral surface of ventral postorbital process; squamosal with a hypertrophied ventral flange that overhangs the laterotemporal fenestra in lateral view, partially obscuring its posterodorsal corner; ventral keels absent on presacral vertebrae; marked depression on anterior part of ventral surface of tenth cervical vertebra.
differs from Magnosaurus in- having interdental plates which are longer than tall; pubis with less transverse expansion at acetabular margin in proximal view; lateral margin of distal femur straight in posterior view; dorsoventrally extending ridge on lateral surface of cnemial crest absent.
(after Carrano et al., 2012) pubic peduncle of ilium as broad anteroposteriorly as mediolaterally; lateral wall of iliac brevis fossa nearly horizontal, exposing medial wall of fossa along entire length in lateral view.
Comments- This specimen was originally described by Phillips (1871) as combining Streptospondylus and Megalosaurus attributes, but left unnamed. Nopcsa (1905, 1906) referred the specimen to Streptospondylus cuvieri in his description, while Huene referred the specimen to either Streptospondylus cuvieri (1907-08, 1923, 1926) or Megalosaurus cuvieri (1926, 1932). Walker (1964) erected the new genus Eustreptospondylus for the specimen, as it not referrable to Megalosaurus or Streptospondylus. Streptospondylus? cuvieri is now restricted to the lost holotype partial dorsal vertebra, which is an indeterminate theropod.
The jugal mentioned by Huene (1926) is probably the squamosal. The supposed parts of the coronoid and angular figured by Nopcsa (1906) are probably parts of the dentaries. Huene's (1926) fourteenth dorsal vertebra does not exist and his account of 29 preserved caudal vertebrae is in error as well. Phillips (1871) and Huene (1926) describe and illustrate a distal metacarpal and manual phalanx, which are either lost or misidentified pedal elements.
Though found as a basal megalosaurid by Carrano et al. (2012), only three more steps are needed to place it in Afrovenatorinae (which would then be called Eustreptospondylinae) as in Allain (2002), so either possibility is likely. Five more steps are needed to place Eustreptospondylus closer to spinosaurids than Afrovenator as in Sereno et al. (1994) and 7 more steps are needed to place it closer to spinosaurids than Torvosaurus or Afrovenator are, as in Smith et al. (2007). These possibilities are possible though less likely.

Upper Inferior Oolite, England

Holotype- (NHMUK R332) (~5 m) partial premaxillae, maxilla, vomer, partial dentaries, partial surangular, teeth, fragments
Diagnosis- (after Benson, 2008a) deep groove on dorsal surface of jugal process containing numerous pneumatic foramina; array of small foramina in ventral part of articular surface for premaxilla.
Comments- This specimen was originally described by Owen (1883) and referred to Megalosaurus bucklandi. Walker (1964) noted it was probably a distinct species, due to tooth count and a supposed lateral groove between the premaxilla and maxilla. Waldman (1974) officially named the species Megalosaurus hesperis. The taxon was studied by Welles and Powell in the 1970's as part of their redescription of European theropods, where they intended to rename it Walkersaurus hesperis. This was not made publically available until Pickering revised it and sent it to a few colleagues in 1994, though due to its low circulation most paleontologists only learned about the name in 1999 from his 1995 description of Dilophosaurus "breedorum" (often cited as being from 1999) and his bibliographic work "Jurassic Park: Unauthorized Jewish Fractals in Philopatry". Both of these papers face similar problems to the 1994 work in that they do not conform to IZCN Article 8.1.3- it must have been produced in an edition containing simultaneously obtainable copies by a method that assures numerous identical and durable copies. Thus "Walkersaurus" is a nomen nudum, though Pickering does plan to include it in his book "Mutanda Dinosaurologica". Holtz (2000) found the species to have several possible positions as a tetanurine less derived than Afrovenator + Avetheropoda in his cladistic analysis. Most recently, Benson (2008a) has redescribed the material and placed it in a new genus- Duriavenator. Benson (2008b, 2010) found Duriavenator to emerge as a megalosaurid in his phylogenetic analysis. Carreano et al. (2012) further found it to be a megalosaurine, but as only one more step is necessary to make it an afrovenatorine, this is highly uncertain.

Diagnosis- (after Walker, 1964) dorsally directed flange around midheight on the scapular blade.
(after Benson, 2009b) lateral dentary groove broad (also in Torvosaurus); ventral surface of second sacral centrum bearing longitudinal, angular ridge (also in "Brontoraptor"); an array of posterodorsally inclined grooves on the lateral surface of the median iliac ridge (also in "Metriacanthosaurus" "reynoldsi"); anteroposteriorly thick ischial apron with an almost flat medial surface; a prominent, rugose distal ischial tubercle; and complementary groove and ridge structures on the articular surfaces between metatarsals II and III.
(after Carrano et al., 2012) dorsally directed flange at mid-height of scapular blade.
Other diagnoses- Benson et al. (2008) stated the longitudinal groove in the ventral part of the lateral surface of the dentary was an autapomorphy, but Benson (2010) found this to be due to damage. He also cited the slit-like foramen anterior to the termination of the Meckelian groove, but in 2010 reported this was prone to individual variation in Allosaurus fragilis. The presence of 13-14 dentary teeth (which is estimated from the 11 preserved in the lectotype) is also true in other megalosaurids- ~14(11+) in Magnosaurus, 13 in Dubreuillosaurus and Eustreptospondylus, and ~14-15(13+) in Duriavenator.
Benson (2009, 2010) reported a unique combination of dentary characters to distinguish the lectotype, but most of these are plesiomorphic. The lack of an enlarged third dentary alveolus is also found in Monolophosaurus and most non-megalosauroids. The dentary is straight in dorsal view in all megalosaurids and is not more transversely expanded anteriorly in Duriavenator, Eustreptospondylus or Dubreuillosaurus. Duriavenator and Magnosaurus also have tall dentary interdental plates. Those of all megalosaurids are unfused. All megalosaurids also have two Meckelian foramina and shallow Meckelian grooves. Benson also proposed postcranial autapomorphies. The sacral centra 1-3 and 5 of most non-maniraptoriform theropods are evenly rounded.
Comments- The lectotype dentary was collected in 1797. Parkinson (1822) used the name "Megalosaurus", but without description or indication of type material, making it a nomen nudum. The same can be said of Ritgen's (1826) species Megalosaurus "conybeari". Molnar et al. (1990) incorrectly attributed the species M. bucklandii to Ritgen, 1826. Meyer (1832) used the spelling bucklandi for the species, and has been followed by numerous authors, but this is incorrect. Molnar et al. designated OUM J13505 as the lectotype, making the additional elements described by Buckland (1824) paralectotypes.
Buckland (1824) described the paralectotype pubis as a fibula, and ischium as a clavicle (Phillips, 1871). Owen (1857) followed the ischial identification, described an Iguanodon ischium as the scapula, and the ilia as coracoids. Owen incorrectly stated the partial sacrum NHMUK R1098 is from the Wealden. Philips also reports Cuvier believed the metatarsal to be a humerus. He also described two elements as a scapula and ischium (= sacral rib?), but these are lost and may not belong to theropods (Benson, 2010). Phillips believed the proximal caudal vertebra was a posterior dorsal vertebra. The ulna (OUM J36585) was misidentified as a sacral rib by Lydekker (1888). Huene (1926) incorrectly listed two mandibles as being preserved in the type material, and listed the Kimmeridge Clay metatarsus (OUM J13586) and tibia (OUM J29886) as being from the Stonesfield Slate. The partial maxilla SDM 44.1 was misidentified by Reynolds (1939) as a dentary. Holtz (1994) lists OUM J13561 as being a femur and tibia, but the tibia is OUM J13562.  While Welles and Pickering (1999) listed GPIT 18392 as a partial Megalosaurus hindlimb, this number has been associated in the literature with a Sellosaurus specimen. Benson et al. (2008) incorrectly stated rib OUM J29792 was part of the paralectotype.
Not Megalosaurus bucklandii- Owen (1857) figured several teeth as M. bucklandi (NHMUK 2828, 2332, 3222-3225), but these are from Cretaceous deposits and are probably indeterminate theropods. A large unfused scapulocoracoid mentioned by Phillips (1871) as being from a different species of megalosaur is possibly OMNH J29887, a proximal scapula which Day and Barrett (2004) and Benson (2009) reidentified as a sauropod. Phillips (1871) illustrated a metatarsus (OUM J13586) as Megalosaurus that was later illustrated by Huene (1926) with an associated tibia (OUM J29886) as M. bucklandii. Welles and Powell recognized these limb bones were distinct in the 1970's, and the nomen nudum Megalosaurus phillipsi was later assigned to the taxon by Pickering (1995). It is here suggested to be more closely related to Torvosaurus and described in its own entry. Owen (1883) described a partial skull as Megalosaurus bucklandi, but this was later named Megalosaurus hesperis by Waldman (1974) and placed it its own genus (Duriavenator) by Benson (2008). Lydekker (1888) referred several specimens to M. bucklandi- an incomplete sacrum (museum of the Geological Society collection) from the Coral Rag; two teeth (NHMUK 47152, R497) from the Inferior Oolite; a tooth (NHMUK 28608) from the Cotswold Slates; a dorsal centrum (NHMUK 47169) from the Cornbrash Formation; a tooth (NHMUK 39476) from the Forest Marble Formation; a dorsal vertebra (NHMUK 42028) from the Potton Sands; and a proximal tibia (NHMUK 32725) from the Vaches Noires Cliffs. These are all indeterminate theropods. He also claimed Owen (1857) referred the Cretaceous theropod manual ungual NHMUK R1105 and distal pedal ungual NHMUK R2482 to M. bucklandi, but Owen's plate caption merely says "Megalosaurus (?)". Huene (1906) described a partial braincase from the Taynton Limestone as Megalosaurus bucklandi, but this was reidentified as Cetiosaurus by Woodward (1910), a conclusion confirmed by Galton and Knoll (2006). Reynolds (1939) referred numerous specimens to Megalosaurus, of which ilium SDM 44.19 is a different taxon referred to as Metriacanthosaurus "reynoldsi" by Pickering (1995), while scapulae SDM 44.16 and 44.17, a tooth from Oakham Quarry and humerus SDM 44.22 are less diagnostic.
Megalosaurus morphotypes A and B- The disarticulated nature of Megalosaurus remains and lack of proper description until recently have led to suggestions that more than one taxon could be represented, and that only the lectotype dentary should be referred to the genus (e.g. Rauhut, 2000; Allain and Chure, 2002; Benson et al., 2008). Welles and Powell were among the first to suggest this, based on parts of their 1970's manuscript that have been subsequently released by Pickering (Welles and Pickering, 1999). They separated Chipping Norton remains as Metriacanthosaurus reynoldsi and some Taynton Limestone remains as Metriacanthosaurus brevis. These issues are discussed below. Allain and Chure (2002) noted the femur NHMUK 31806 differs from the paralectotype OUM J13561 in being straight with a medially directed head. This was expanded on by Day and Barrett (2004), who grouped Megalosaurus femora in two morphotypes. Morphotype A included NHMUK 31804 and 31806, MHHN 9630, OUM J29753a and J29802, and SDM 44.24. They are also distinguished by a distomedially oriented buttress supporting the anterior trochanter, a narrow ridge connecting the anterior trochanter to the femoral head, a shallow extensor groove, and subequally sized distal condyles. Morphotype B femora included NHMUK 31808, OUM J13561 and J29803, and SDM 44.23. Benson (2009) reviewed these supposed differences. He found the femoral head is always anteromedially oriented, though the more anterior angle in morphotype B femora (~40 degrees) is due to damage and deformation, seen in morphotype A femur NHMUK 31804 as well. The difference in curvature is attributed to distortion of originally straight shafts, with similar variation seen in Cleveland-Lloyd Allosaurus. The distomedial buttress is identified as the anterior intermuscular line and is found to not correspond to femoral types, with morphotype A femur NHMUK 31806 lacking it and morphotype B femora NHMUK 31808 and OUM J13561 having them. Individual variation is also noted for this feature in Dry Mesa Ceratosaurus. The ridge connecting the anterior trochanter and femoral head is present in all well preserved specimens, including morphotype B femur SDM 44.23. The extensor groove is present in all specimens as well, though shallower in OUM J13561 due to erosion of the anterior condyles. Finally, the distal condyles have similar proportions in most specimens, with a broader lateral condyle but longer medial condyle, with the exception of OUM J29803. The latter specimen is highly crushed transversely, explaining the difference. Benson concluded only one taxon was represented by the femora and most other Taynton Limestone and New Park Quarry cranial and postcranial material, which led to him referring all of it to M. bucklandii in his later (2010) osteology of the taxon.
A Stonesfield Slate sinraptorid? Bakker et al. (1992) thought maxilla OUM J13506 was from a sinraptorid due to its short anterior ramus, while Naish and Martill (2007) noted this was primitive and suggested it could be an abelisauroid instead. Note this would be consistant with Welles and Pickering' idea of Metriacanthosaurus "brevis" being in that formation, though they refer the maxilla to Megalosaurus. Benson (2007) noted it differed from sinraptorids in having a maxillary fossa instead of fenestra, and from ceratosaurs in having unfused interdental plates, but resembled other jaw elements of Megalosaurus.
Metriacanthosaurus brevis- Owen (1857) originally described Megalosaurus ilia as coracoids, noting three specimens were in the NHMUK and figuring one. Lydekker (1888) recognized these as ilia and incorrectly listed the one illustrated by Owen as NHMUK 31811 (as BMNH 31811), though Pickering (DML, 2002) notes it is actually NHMUK R1100 (as BMNH R1100). NHMUK 31811 remained as a specimen of Megalosaurus bucklandii until Pickering credited the name Metriacanthosaurus brevis to English theropod material in his 1995 unpublished bibliographic manuscript. It was later used in the comparative section of another unpublished manuscript (Welles and Pickering, 1999). This paper was largely extracted from the European megalosaur manuscript Welles and Powell worked on in the 1970s but never published, specifically the Megalosaurus redescription section. Pickering intends to publish an updated version of the megalosaur manuscript as Mutanda Dinosaurologica, and has posted small excerpts including the diagnosis of Metriacanthosaurus "brevis" online (DML, 2002). In any case, the name is a nomen nudum as Pickering didn't follow ICZN Article 8.1.3- it must have been produced in an edition containing simultaneously obtainable copies by a method that assures numerous identical and durable copies. Pickering says of M. "brevis" and Metriacanthosaurus parkeri, "their great height and shortness -- diagnostic for Metriacanthosaurus -- separates them from ilia of Megalosaurus bucklandii and Allosaurus." Additionally, Allain and Chure (2002) stated NHMUK 31811 and R1100 (misidentified as OUM J13560) are "quite different from one another in shape in proportions." However, Day and Barrett (2004) found the shortness was an illusion caused by a broken postacetabular process and a plaster reconstructed preacetabular process. Benson (2009) agreed and also found it shared an autapomorphy with other M. bucklandii ilia- a series of posterodorsally oriented ridges that give the posterior part of the median ridge an undulating texture. Indeed, the characters Pickering lists as distinguishing M. "brevis" from M. parkeri are largely also those that distinguish M. bucklandii from M. parkeri (nearly straight upper margin; taller preacetabular process), or don't distinguish M. "brevis" from M. bucklandii (narrower notch between preacetabular process and pubic peduncle; longer, lower acetabulum; 250 mm long). So I see no reason to support M. "brevis" and synonymize it with M. bucklandii. Pickering also referred several other specimens to M. "brevis". OUM J29888 is a pectoral girdle which Day and Barrett and Benson couldn't distinguish from M. bucklandii. NHMUK 31806 is a femur which Allain and Chure stated differs from the paralectotype in being straight with a medially directed head. Day and Barrett (2004) used this as the basis for their morphotype A femora, but Benson (2009) found the head orientation to be individual variation and the curvature of type B femora to be taphonomic. Additional differences between morphotype A and B femora were also found to be preservational or individual variation (see below), and Benson (2009, 2010) referred both types to M. bucklandii. Ironically, M. parkeri's femur has a sigmoid shaft, though it does have a medially directed head. NHMUK 31809 and OUM J13562 are tibiae which Benson (2009, 2010) referred to M. bucklandii and which share a bulbous fibular crest with that taxon. NHMUK 31809 differs from M. parkeri in having a smaller cnemial crest which is not as laterally angled and a smaller and more laterally placed fibular crest. Thus all supposed Metriacanthosaurus "brevis" material is referrable to Megalosaurus bucklandii and does not bear particular resemblence to Metriacanthosaurus itself. Coincidentally, NHMUK 31806 and 31809 are the femur and tibia illustrated as examples of those elements in Benson's (2010) redescription of M. bucklandii, though the other tibia and the pectoral girdle remain unillustrated.
Chipping Norton remains- Lydekker (1888) referred a metatarsal III (NHMUK R413) from the Chipping Norton Formation to Megalosaurus bucklandi. Gardiner (1937, 1938) and Reynolds (1938) reported large theropod remains from two quarries in the Chipping Norton Limestone Formation, which Reynolds (1939) described and referred to Megalosaurus. Reynolds misidentified maxilla SDM 44.1 as a dentary, dorsal centrum SDM 44.6 as a caudal. Pickering (1995) credited the name Metriacanthosaurus reynoldsi to Welles, Powell and Pickering in his unpublished 1995 manuscript and later used it in the comparative section of Welles and Pickering, 1999. It is a nomen nudum in both though, as Pickering didn't follow ICZN Article 8.1.3- it must have been produced in an edition containing simultaneously obtainable copies by a method that assures numerous identical and durable copies. The 1999 paper shows his new taxon to be based on all the Chipping Norton theropod material from both quarries, as well as NHMUK R413 and a few other elements. Day and Barrett (2004) believed both their femoral morphotypes A and B were present in the sample- SDM 44.23 as morphotype B and SDM 44.24 as morphotype A. Benson (2009, 2010) referred the New Park Quarry material to Megalosaurus bucklandii based on the close resemblence of maxilla SDM 44.1 to Taynton Limestone specimens and an M. bucklandii autapomorphy in sacrum SDM 44.4, while other elements were provisionally referred as there is no evidence of more than one taxon in the quarry. Additional New Park Quarry material referred by Welles and Pickering to "reynoldsi" but not mentioned by Benson is here provisionally referred to Megalosaurus- sacra NHMUK R9679 and R9680 and dorsal SDM 44.10. Benson (2010) also referred two specimens from Oakham Quarry to M. bucklandii based on autapomorphies (ischium SDM 44.20 and metatarsal III NHMUK R9665), but refrained from referring additional elements from this quarry as he notes some "can be referred to a second, unnamed taxon (R. B. J. Benson, unpubl. data)." This near certainly refers to "reynoldsi", whose intended holotype is an ilium from Oakham Quarry which resembles Eustreptospondylus and Yangchuanosaurus zigongensis most closely. Further study by Benson and/or Pickering may clarify the identity of the other Oakham Quarry elements.

M? sp. indet. (Owen, 1857)
Early Jurassic
Coral Rag of Dry Sandford, England

Material- (GSL coll.; cast as NHMUK R1027) incomplete sacrum (first vertebra 127 mm) (Owen, 1857)
teeth (Huene, 1932)
Comments- Owen (1857) described the sacrum as Megalosaurus, and Lydekker (1888) referred it to M. bucklandi. This specimen is probably too early to be Megalosaurus, but should be checked for that genus' apomorphic keeled second centrum.

Bajocian, Middle Jurassic
Inferior Oolite, England

Material- (NHMUK 47152) tooth (Lydekker, 1888)
(NHMUK R497) partial tooth (Owen, 1857)
Comments- Owen (1857) illustrates NHMUK R497 as Megalosaurus, while Lydekker (1888) refers it and 47152 to M. bucklandi. Huene (1932) thought these might belong to Magnosaurus instead of Megalosaurus. These specimens cannot be referred to Megalosaurus bucklandii because the teeth of that taxon lack described apomorphies.

M? sp. indet. (Naish, online 2022)
Middle Bathonian, Middle Jurassic
Enstone, Hampen Formation, England
Material- (OUMNH J29757) distal femur (~270 mm trans)
Comments- Naish (online 2022) wrote that Stewart had "noticed that what appeared to be the Plot bone ["Scrotum humanum"] was very much still in existence, and - furthermore - was on show in a museum; specifically, the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford ... where it’s accessioned as OUMNH PAL J29757."  He noted several similarities, of which the longitudinal cracks in the flexor groove, elongate broken area covering the ectocondylar region and longitudinal striations proximal to that are valid and relatively unique, as well as both being found in Cornwell.  As Naish notes, "It 'stands in' for the Plot bone" in the museum's display which identifies the latter as Megalosaurus, but is not explicitly said to be that specimen or Megalosaurus itself.  However, Naish states that in 2021 Stewart and Ketchum weighed the specimen and determined it was about half the mass Plot reported for "Scrotum" so could not be the same specimen. 
The Hampen Formation (used to be called Hampen Marly Formation or Beds) is only slightly above beds that diagnostic Megalosaurus is known from, so OUMNH J29757 could be that genus. However, Proceratosaurus, "Metriacanthosaurus" "reynoldsi" and Cruxicheiros are also known from around the same area and time, but the wider flexor groove is more like Megalosaurus than Cruxicheiros, and the shape is pretty dissimilar from proceratosaurid Guanlong and much larger than it or Proceratosaurus. "reynoldsi" is incomparable and of uncertain relations.  The ectocondylar tuber does seem to be more medially placed than Megalosaurus (but similar to "Sctrotum"), but this may be due to compression and shearing.

"Scrotum" Brookes, 1763
"S. humanum" Brookes, 1763
Aalenian-Bajocian?, Middle Jurassic
unknown quarry, Inferior Oolite?, Cornwell, England

Material- (lost) distal femur (~235 mm trans)
Diagnosis- (proposed) ectocondylar tuber limited to medial half of ectocondyle; ectocondyle subequal in size and shape to endocondyle.
Comments- Originally described and illustrated by Plot (1677) as the distal femur of a giant human, this is famous as being the first Mesozoic dinosaur bone to be published. Brookes (1793) later summarized Plot's description and opinions but labeled the specimen Sctrotum Humanum in his plate. Rieppel (2022) notes that "At the top of page 317, Brookes (1763) noted that 'other stones have been found exactly representing the private parts of a man; and others in the shape of kidneys . . . ', and continued further down on the same page" described the femur.  As "the plates and the individual figures they contain are not numbered separately, but are identified by the pagination number of the page on which the respective specimens are mentioned or described. The conclusion seems to be that the illustrator took the femur fragment to be an example of those stones referred to on page 317 as 'exactly representing the private parts of a man', and erroneously labelled it accordingly."  Phillips (1871) believed it was from the Inferior Oolite (Aalenian-Bajocian) and stated "It may have been the femur of a large megalosaurus or a small ceteosaurus" without evidence.  As described by Delair and Sargeant (1975), Halstead (1970) "pointed out that because of its date of publication (post-Linnean, i.e. after 1758), this binomen can be considered a perfectly valid publication of the first generic and specific name ever applied to dinosaurian remains. It is perhaps fortunate that the name was not thereafter employed by any subsequent worker, and thus Scrotum humanum Brookes must be treated as a nomen oblitum and discarded."  They (and Halstead) considered it more probable to be Megalosaurus than Cetiosaurus without evidence and stated "The specimen unfortunately is lost."  Halstead and Sarjeant (1993; publication duplicated in 1995) noted that while Scrotum should be treated as a nomen oblitum under ICZN Article 23b (First Edition), "no application was made then, or has been made since, for the formal suppression of Brookes's binomen."  The Third Edition of the ICZN came out in 1985 and eliminated the nomen oblitum clause, so the authors petitioned the ICZN in 1992 "(I) to use its plenary powers to suppress the generic name Scrotum Brookes, 1763 and the specific name S. humanum Brookes, 1763; (2) to retain on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology the name Megalosaurus Buckland in Parkinson, 1822, type species by subsequent designation M. bucklandi Meyer. 1832. (3) to retain on the Official List of Specific Names in Biology the name bucklandi as published in the binomen Megalosaurus bucklandi (specific name of the type species of Megalosaurus Buckland in Parkinson, 1822, by designation in Meyer, 1832); (4) To place on the Official List of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology the name Scrotum Brookes, 1763; (5) to place on the Official List of Rejected and Invalid Specific Names in Zoology the name humanum Brookes, 1763, as published in the binomen Scrotum humanum, and as suppressed in (1) above." as listed in 1993.  As recalled by the authors, Tubbs (Executive Secretary to the ICZN) replied later that year that "The text on p. 301 of Brookes (1763) makes it quite clear that the two words "Scrotum humanum" on the plate were a description of a specimen, and that Brookes did not establish a genus Scrotum or a species humanum (any more than he did a species Kidney stone on the same plate!). The words just happened to be Latin."  Furthermore, since "[the name Scrotum humanum] has never been used as a scientific name", it "is therefore unavailable under Article 11d of the Code" (Third Edition- "Names to be treated as valid when proposed. - Except as in (i) below, a name must be treated as valid for a taxon when proposed unless it was first published as a junior synonym and subsequently made available under the provisions of Section e of this article.").  Finally, because "Plot's long-lost specimen was ... not certainly, a Megalosaurus bone", Tubbs wrote that "the Commission is willing to take action only when there is an appreciable and real, as opposed to hypothetical, threat to stability or nomenclature. This is not the case for Megalosaurus."  Note that Tubbs was incorrect that Brookes ever specified Scrotum Humanum was a description instead of a name, with page 301 being an unrelated section on plant fossils, so his use of Article 11d was unwarranted although recently supported by Rieppel's logic.  He was also wrong that it had never been used as a scientific name, as Molnar et al. (1990) listed Scrotum humanum as a carnosaur nomen dubium.  Under the current ICZN, "Scrotum humanum" would be a nomen nudum based on Article 11.5- "To be available, a name must be used as valid for a taxon when proposed."  Tubbs was right that the referral to Megalosaurus was merely hypothetical though, as it has never been supported by published evidence and seems unwarranted.
The femur is dissimilar from Cetiosaurus (both the lectotype OUMNH J13615 and the Rutland specimen LCM G468.1968) in that the sauropods are 45-86% larger, have a distally extended medial condyle, and a fibular groove placed at the lateral edge.  Note the estimated transverse diameter is based on Plot's statement the narrowest shaft circumference was 15 inches (= 381 mm) and scaled from the figure.  Compared to this, Megalosaurus femora are slightly smaller (shaft diameter 265-343 mm), and differ in having a more distomedially extended and pointed medial condyle, more laterally positioned ectocondylar tuber, and a straight lateral edge until the distal extent of the tuber.  These same differences are also usually present in e.g. Cruxicheiros, piatnitzkysaurids, Eustreptospondylus, Erectopus, Allosaurus, and Juratyrant among large Jurassic theropods whose distal femora are undistorted and figured in posterior view.  If "Scrotum" is from the Inferior Oolite it is also earlier than Megalosaurus, and differs from the contemporaneous Magnosaurus in the same ways when preserved (more laterally positioned ectocondylar tuber; straight lateral edge until the distal extent of the tuber), although it could derive from Duriavenator with which it cannot be compared.  Sinraptor dongi is slightly more similar to "Scrotum" in having a convex lateral edge alongside the ectocondylar tuber, but it is "Brontoraptor" which is most similar in having that character, an evenly rounded medial condyle and a more medially placed ectocondylar tuber.  Torvosaurus (ML 632) shows the last character at least but cannot be evaluated for the rest, so "Scrotum" might be best characterized as a torvosaur and may relate to "Megalosaurus" "phillipsi" from the Kimmeridgian of England that also has characters similar to "Brontoraptor" and Torvosaurus.  "Brontoraptor" also has a similar circumference (376 mm) and internal cavity size based on Siegwarth et al.'s Figure 8E.  Whether the remaining differences (ectocondylar tuber limited to medial half of ectocondyle; ectocondyle subequal in size and shape to endocondyle) are genuine or illustration error caused by Plot generalizing then unfamiliar megalosauroid anatomy is uncertain.  Note "Scrotum" can be excluded from Ceratosauria based on the absence of a tall anteromedial crest, and from Coeluridae, Proceratosauridae and Maniraptoromorpha based on the deep extensor groove described by Plot and large size (with occasional exceptions, e.g. Yutyrannus).

"Megalosaurus" "phillipsi" Welles, Powell and Pickering vide Pickering, 1995
Kimmeridgian, Late Jurassic
Kimmeridgian Clay, England

Material- (OUM J29886) tibia (740 mm) (Huene, 1926)
....(OUM J13586) metatarsal II (360 mm), incomplete metatarsal III, incomplete metatarsal IV (Phillips, 1871)
Diagnosis- (from Pickering, DML 2002) cnemial crest more laterally angled.
(suggested) metatarsal II transversely narrower in proximal view; a wide lateral flare to the ventral rim of the lateral ligament pit on metatarsal II.
Other diagnoses- Pickering has listed his intended diagnosis for this species online (DML, 2002). Of his listed characters, the tibia does not seem noticably straighter in "phillipsi" than in Megalosaurus or Torvosaurus. The fibular crest begins at a similar position proximally. I cannot confirm the presence of a pit in the astragalar facet in M. bucklandii, and the "concavity of the distal end is wider" in Torvosaurus and "Brontoraptor" as well. The latter is also true of the medial malleolus, which "does not extend so far below the medial end." The tibia is equally robust in "Brontoraptor", Torvosaurus tanneri and T? sp. ML 430 from Portugal, which also share the transversely expanded lateral condyle. While the fibular crest extends more distally than in M. bucklandii, it does not do so more than "Brontoraptor" or ML 430.
Comments- OUM J29886 is intended as the holotype, though Huene (1926) felt they belonged to the same individual.
Phillips (1871) illustrated the metatarsus as Megalosaurus in figure 68. Huene (1926) later illustrated both the tibia and metatarsus as Megalosaurus bucklandi, incorrectly stating they derive from the Stonesfield Slate (Pickering, DML 2002). Huene also lists the metatarsals again as Megalosaurus sp. under entry 54 of his list, which also get listed as ?Megalosaurus sp. by him in 1932. Pickering (1995) first mentioned the name Megalosaurus phillipsi in an unpublished bibliographic manuscript. It was later used in the comparative section of another unpublished manuscript (Welles and Pickering, 1999). This paper was largely extracted from the European megalosaur manuscript Welles and Powell worked on in the 1970s but never published, specifically the Megalosaurus redescription section. Pickering intends to publish an updated version of the megalosaur manuscript as Mutanda Dinosaurologica, and has posted small excerpts including the diagnosis of "phillipsi" online (DML, 2002). In any case, the name is a nomen nudum as Pickering didn't follow ICZN Article 8.1.3- it must have been produced in an edition containing simultaneously obtainable copies by a method that assures numerous identical and durable copies. Curiously, Benson's (2010) recent redescription of Megalosaurus does not even mention the specimens, though they do lack the only character in his diagnosis of M. bucklandii for which it can be checked- complementary groove and ridge structures on the articular surfaces between metatarsals II and III.
When entered into my saurischian supermatrix, "phillipsi" emerges in a polytomy with non-spinosaurid megalosauroids. This specimen will be compared to Megalosaurus bucklandii, Torvosaurus and "Brontoraptor" (note Pickering and Welles synonymized the first two at least), as it differs markedly from Eustreptospondylus (used as the outgroup comparison), while Magnosaurus and Dubreuillosaurus are too incomplete to be compared usefully and Afrovenator remains largely undescribed. Poekilopleuron differs in having a proximal corner on its medial malleolus and an astragalar facet that extends far up the medial edge of the tibia. As noted above in the 'other diagnoses' section, "phillipsi" apomorphically resembles Morrison megalosaurs and ML 430 more than Megalosaurus in being robust and having a transversely expanded lateral condyle. It apomorphically resembles "Brontoraptor" and ML 430 more in having a distally extending fibular crest, but is primitively more like Megalosaurus than any of these taxa in having a low angled medial malleolus. The proximodistally wide medial side to the astragalar facet is most similar to "Brontoraptor" and Torvosaurus, and the fibular crest lacks the apomorphically bulbous shape of Megalosaurus'. In proximal view, the incisura tibialis is plesiomorphically shallower than Megalosaurus as in Torvosaurus and "Brontoraptor", but the shape is plesiomorphically more similar to Megalosaurus than "Brontoraptor" in having a narrower cnemial crest and more posteriorly extensive medial condyle. Metatarsal II is of equal robusticity to Megalosaurus, unlike Torvosaurus' apomorphically massive element. It apomorphically shares the medial flare to the ventral rim of the collateral ligament pit with Torvosaurus though. It differs from both in being transversely narrower proximally and having a wide lateral flare to the ventral rim of the opposite collateral ligament pit. In proximal view, Megalosaurus and "phillipsi" both have a posterior concavity on metatarsal II, and share a convex anterior edge, as in the outgroup. Distally, it is primitively deeper than in either Megalosaurus or Torvosaurus. Metatarsal III is primitively more medially bowed than either, and is again less robust than Torvosaurus'. Proximally, metatarsal III is closer to Torvosaurus in having an apomorphic highly concave lateral margin and lacking the apomorphic sinuous medial margin of Megalosaurus. It has a primitively blunter posteromedial corner than either of them. Distally, the lateral condyle is apomorphically narrower as in Torvosaurus. Metatarsal IV has an apomorphically concave lateral edge as in Megalosaurus, unlike the sinusoidal edge of Torvosaurus. The distal shaft width is intermediate, and the articular end plesiomorphically expands transversely less than in Megalosaurus. Ignoring the symplesiomorphies then, "phillipsi" shares five apomorphic states with Torvosaurus, and only one with Megalosaurus. It also shares these apomorphies with "Brontoraptor" and ML 430 where known, and shares the distally projecting fibular crest uniquely with those two specimens. I conclude Welles, Powell and Pickering were correct to refer "phillipsi" to their more inclusive version of Megalosaurus, but if Torvosaurus is separated as most modern workers do, it would be better referred to that genus. "Brontoraptor" has been recently assumed to be synonymous with Torvosaurus, and if so the features "phillipsi" shares with the former to the exclusion of the latter may be individual variation or incorrectly illustrated for "Brontoraptor". However, the fact Portuguese tibia ML 430 has the same characters suggests this may not be the case. Whether ML 430 should be referred to "phillipsi" is an interesting question, as they are both from Late Jurassic Europe. While the distally extensive fibular crest might suggest so, the broadly flared medial malleolus and laterally straight lateral malleolus of ML 430 resemble Torvosaurus more, while the medially narrow astragalar facet is more like Megalosaurus than any torvosaur. Both "phillipsi" and ML 430 are best referred to Megalosauridae.

"Brontoraptor" Redman, 1995
Late Kimmeridgian, Late Jurassic
Brushy Basin Member of Morrison Formation, Wyoming, US

Material- (TATE 0012; = CPS 1003; = TATE 1003) (adult) atlas (60 mm), axis (150 mm), sacrum (620 mm), first caudal vertebra (105 mm), second caudal vertebra (113 mm), third caudal vertebra (121 mm), fourth caudal vertebra (112 mm), fifth caudal vertebra (113 mm), seventh caudal vertebra (111 mm), eighth caudal vertebra (118 mm), ninth caudal vertebra (118 mm), tenth caudal vertebra (119 mm), eleventh caudal vertebra (118 mm), twentieth caudal vertebra (118 mm), six chevrons (305, 285, 265, 245, 210, 118 mm), scapula, coracoids, ilium (~930 mm), pubis (~610 mm), ischium (590 mm), femur (830 mm), tibia (700 mm), fibula (650 mm)
Diagnosis- (from Siegwarth et al., unpublished) differs from Torvosaurus tanneri in- ilium with straight dorsal edge; vertical pubic peduncle of ilium; brevis shelf oriented laterally; short pubic symphysis; reduced pelvic canal; ischium not strongly curved; obturator process present; no ischial symphysis.
differs from Edmarka rex in- scapula expanded distally; pubis and ischium more gracile with different distal expansions
Comments- Siegwarth et al. (unpublished, though written after 1994 based on the bibliography, and listed as 1997 by Carrano et al., 2012) wrote a manuscript that is oddly credited to volume 2 of the nonexistant journal 'Contributions from the Tate Museum Collections, Casper, Wyoming'. In it, they describe the sacrum, first caudal vertebra, ilium, pubis, femur, tibia and fibula of TATE 0012 as parts of Edmarka paratype TATE 1003. A later version of the manuscript included Bakker and described more material from the specimen, this time calling it TATE 0012, which Edmarka paratype CPS 1003 had apparently been integrated into as TATE 0012-11. All of this material was discovered in 1993-1996. Redman (1995) had used the name Brontoraptor for this material in a magazine article (without species name, making it a nomen nudum- ICZN 13.3). In the second unpublished manuscript, Seigwarth et al. state TATE 0012 is at least a different species than Torvosaurus tanneri and probably a different genus. They note earlier versions of the manuscript called the specimen Brontoraptor but that based on a recommendation by Carpenter, they will wait for further comparison to Torvosaurus to name a new genus. The final version of this manuscript was cited by Bakker (1996) as being published in volume 3 of Hunteria, but there's no evidence such a volume was produced. Mateus et al. (2006) and Carrano et al. have listed the material as Torvosaurus without justification. The latter merely state "Brontoraptor" and Edmarka "may represent species level variants of Torvosaurus, but we do not consider the observed differences as sufficient to justify a new taxon at this time."

Syntypes- (CPS 1002) incomplete scapula (~950 mm), partial coracoid
(CPS 1004) dorsal ribs
(CPS 1005) jugal (444 mm)
(CPS 1006) first caudal vertebra (140 mm)
Paratype- (CPS 1001) partial third dorsal rib, fourth dorsal rib, ninth dorsal rib, tenth dorsal rib, partial eleventh dorsal rib, dorsal rib

?(CEUM 3301) pubes (Siegwarth et al., unpublished)
Comments- Bakker et al. (1992) confusingly label the proximal caudal vertebra as CPS 1005 in the material list, which is the same number as the jugal. In the discussion, it is called CPS 1006. Also, they label the ribs CPS 1001 in the discussion and figures, but as CPS 401 in the material list. Given the other specimen numbers, CPS 1001 is the more likely possibility. A coracoid (CPS 1003, though now apparently part of TATE 0012) was originally included as a paratype, but is part of a specimen Siegwarth et al. (unpublished) believe differs from Edmarka and which has been called "Brontoraptor".

Diagnosis- (after Rauhut et al., 2016) Anterior margin of nasal process of premaxilla offset from anterior margin of premaxillary body by slight concavity (also in Sciurumimus); medial premaxillary foramen placed over second alveolus, not the third; first premaxillary tooth considerably smaller than second (also in spinosaurids); maxillary antorbital fossa reduced; excavatio pneumatica on ascending process of maxilla (also in Ceratosaurus and some allosauroids); lacrimal with small oval depression in antorbital fossa anterior to lacrimal fenestra; very short and high anterior process of lacrimal, its length less than half the height of the bone; postorbital with transversely notably concave orbital facet in dorsal part of anterior side, with markedly raised lateral and medial margins; oblique ridge on medial side of fibula at about the level of iliofibularis tubercle; proximal part of astragalar ascending process deflected laterally, resulting in marked kink in lateral margin of process.
Comments- The holotype was discovered in 1998 and initially reported in 1999 as a giant (~15 m) allosaur (e.g. November National Geographic article), called Das Monster von Minden after the town it was discovered in. Nothing further was released until Rauhut et al.'s (2015) abstract, placing the taxon in Megalosauridae. It was officially described by Rauhut et al. (2016), who used a version of Carrano et al.'s tetanurine analysis to recover Wiehenvenator as a megalosaurid sister to Torvosaurus. Note the actual size turns out to be much smaller than the initial claims, with the authors' skeletal reconstruction being 8.3 meters long. Also, the manual phalanx was identified as a pedal phalanx in the 2015 abstract. Only two of the ribs are complete and only the left fibula is undistorted enough to measure, but the paper does not specify which specimen numbers correspond to these (Rauhut, pers. comm. 2016 provided the identifications for the materials list above)..

Torvosaurus Galton and Jensen, 1979
Diagnosis- (after Britt, 1991) interdental wall making up one-half the medial surface of the maxillary body.
(after Carrano et al., 2012) very shallow maxillary fossa; fused interdental plates.
(after Hendrickx and Mateus, 2014b) protuberant ridge below maxillary fossa, in ventral part of anterior corner of lateral antorbital fossa.
Other diagnoses- Hendrickx and Mateus (2014b) also listed expanded fossae in posterior dorsal and anterior caudal centra forming enlarged and deep pneumatic openings; highly ossified puboischiadic plate; and distal expansion of ischium with prominent lateral midline crest and oval outline in lateral view. However, these areas are unpreserved in T. gurneyi and thus only scorable in T. tanneri.

(Skull Creek quarry)
(CMC VP15575; Elvis) (~10 m) premaxillary teeth, maxilla, surangular, angular, articular, teeth, fifth to tenth cervical vertebrae, cervical ribs, first to thirteenth dorsal vertebrae, dorsal ribs, sacrum, first to second caudal vertebrae, partial furcula, ilia, pubes, ischia, femur, distal tibia, phalanx II-2, proximal phalanx III-2 (Galiano, 2015)
(DMNS coll.) tooth (Kane, 2020)
Diagnosis- (after Rauhut, 2000) opisthocoelous cervical vertebrae with a pronounced flat rim around the anterior ball (unknown in T. gurneyi); fenestra in neural arch of dorsal vertebrae in front of hyposphene (unknown in T. gurneyi).
(after Carrano et al., 2012) expanded pneumatic fossae in posterior dorsal and anterior caudal vertebrae centra forming enlarged, deep openings (unknown in T. gurneyi); highly ossified puboischiadic plate (unknown in T. gurneyi); distal expansion of ischium with prominent lateral midline crest and oval outline in lateral view (unknown in T. gurneyi).
(after Hendrickx and Mateus, 2014b) protuberant ridge on anterior part of medial shelf, posterior to anteromedial process; interdental wall falling short relative to lateral wall; interdental plates with broad V-shaped
ventral margin.
Other diagnoses- The shallow maxillary fossa and fused interdental plates listed by Carrano et al. (2012) are also present in T. gurneyi.
Comments- Britt (1991) noted the forelimb elements of BYUVP 2002 were found disarticulated and that at least two equally sized individuals were preserved in the quarry, so that restriction of the holotype would be preferrable. He chose the left humerus, but the ICZN doesn't allow a holotype to be designated after the fact. The humerus would be a lectotype, which is how it is interpreted by Hendrickx and Mateus (2014b). Also note the original BYU 2016 of Galton and Jensen (1979) was divided into several specimen numbers by Britt.
Allain et al. (2012) believed manual ungual I BYUVP 2020 could be from a spinosaurid because of its elongation, but as no other spinosaurid remains are known from the Morrison, this is questionable.
The most significant articulated specimen is nicknamed Elvis and was initially privately owned (Galiano, 2015) before being bought by the Cincinnati Museum Center as CMC VP15575 (Miller, pers. comm. 2021).

Comments- The holotype was discovered in 2003 and first described by Mateus et al. (2006), then described in depth later by Hendrickx and Mateus (2014b). Rauhut and Kriwet (1994) first described FUB PB Ther 1 and 2 as "Megalosaurus" pombali specimens which they placed as Carnosauria indet., but the first was later referred to Torvosaurus gurneyi by Hendrickx and Mateus (2014b). The eggshells associated with Torvosaurus are dendroolithid.

unnamed possible afrovenatorine (Liu and Yeh, 1957)
Aalenian?, Middle(?) Jurassic
Shuangyukou, Qianfoya Formation?, Sichuan, China
Material- (IVPP V893) (~1.4 m) (juvenile?) incomplete manual ungual I (~24 mm)
Comments- This was discovered in 1955 associated with the holotype of Ceratodus minor (IVPP V892) (Liu and Yeh, 1957).  The locality is listed as "Shung-ya-kou, Hai-t'ang-pu, Kiangyou, Szechuan", which is now called Shuangyukou, Haitangpu, Jiangyou, Sichuan.  The authors list the age as "? M. Jurassic", which should stand for Middle(?) Jurassic, as the Jiangyou area is all Jurassic (e.g. fig. 3 of Luo et al., 2014).  This would make IVPP V893 from either the Shangshaximiao, Xiashaximiao or Qianfoya Formations, which in the absence of geological description will probably only be resolved via more C. minor fossils or detailed stratigraphic studies of Jiangyou.  Chang and Jin (1996) listed the horizon as "?Qianfoyan Series".  Liu and Yeh call this "Carnosauria indet." under the Huenian system of carnosaurs being large theropods, though they correctly say it "represents a small carnivorous dinosaur."  They say only that "For comparison with the Megalosaurian phalangeals it is shorter and stouter than the latter", which might be based on comparison to Allosaurus given the limited number of 'megalosaurian' manual unguals described at the time, unless it was being compared to pedal unguals where such a statement would also always be true.  Comparing proximal height (excluding flexor tubercles), IVPP V893 is ~21% of the size of Afrovenator's holotype, which may mean this is a juvenile if correctly assigned to Megalosauroidea.
Comparison- Compared to ceratosaurs (Saltriovenator, Eoabelisaurus; elaphrosaurs have reduced unguals so are not relevant), IVPP V893 has a less prominent flexor tubercle with no proximal notch and a more concave artcular surface.  Carnosaurs have more prominent flexor tubercles (except Mapusaurus) and are transversely thicker (at least in Allosaurus and Sinraptor).  This includes the possibly contemporaneous Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis (CV 00214).  Of roughly contemporaneous Chinese taxa with preserved manual unguals, Xuanhanosaurus' ungual I has only been figured in a mostly dorsal view while Kaijiangosaurus' figured ungual is almost flat proximally and has a sharp angle ventrally like ungual II of Asfaltovenator.  Most Jurassic coelurosaurs also have more prominent flexor tubercles (Bicentenaria, Zuolong, Tanycolagreus, Juravenator, Guanlong, Ornitholestes, archaeopterygids, scansoriopterygids), and of those that don't- Compsognathus (digit I), Shishugounykus (digit I) and Sciurumimus (digit I) have a proximally projected dorsal lip and shallower claw base, with the first having a proximodistally longer tubercle and the last a shorter tubercle; Aorun (digit II) has almost no tubercle and less recurvature; and Shishugounykus (digit II) has a proximally projected dorsal lip and proximodistally shorter tubercle.  The most similar unguals to IVPP V893 are Tugulusaurus (digit I), Dubreuillosaurus (digit I or II), Leshanosaurus (digit I) and Afrovenator (digit I), of which the latter is closest but has a slightly deeper tubercle and more distally placed and ventrally angled (proximally) vascular groove.

?(TP4-12) maxillary fragment (Serrano-Martinez, Ortega, Sciscio, Tent-Manclus, Bandera and Knoll, 2015)
Diagnosis- (after Sereno et al., 1994)  maxilla with lobe-shaped anterior margin of antorbital fossa; third cervical with a low, rectangular neural spine; very flat semilunate carpal; metacarpal I with a broad flange for articulation
against metacarpal II.
(after Carrano et al., 2012) posterior extension of distal pubic expansion inset from lateral surfaces of anterior extension, forming pair of conjoined, posterior flanges.
Comments- Though originally identified as Hauterivian-Barremian and called the Tiouraren beds by Sereno et al. (1994), the Tiouraren Formation has been reinterpreted as Bathonian-Oxfordian (Rauhut and Lopez-Arbarello, 2009).  Note Sereno et al. measured manual ungual length as "measured perpendicular to the alticular end", so maximum length from proximodorsal edge to distal tip is estimated from their figure here.
Sereno et al. placed Afrovenator as a non-megalosaurian megalosauroid, which takes five more steps in Carrano et al.'s matrix (whose phylogeny is followed here). Rauhut (2003) found it to be closer to allosauroids than megalosauroids, which takes 3 more steps when constrained. Each possibility is quite likely.

Kimmeridgian?, Late Jurassic
Xiaogu, Shangshaximiao Formation, Sichuan, China

Holotype- (QW200701) (~6.2 m) incomplete skull, posterior mandible, three teeth, hyoid (95 mm), atlas, axis (78 mm), third cervical vertebra (80 mm), fourth cervical vertebra (76 mm), fifth cervical vertebra (80 mm), ninth cervical vertebra (70 mm), tenth cervical vertebra (60 mm), first dorsal vertebra (70 mm), second dorsal vertebra (80 mm), third dorsal vertebra (87 mm), fourth dorsal vertebra (98 mm), fifth dorsal vertebra (99 mm), sixth dorsal vertebra (103 mm), seventh dorsal vertebra (105 mm), eighth dorsal vertebra (107 mm), ninth dorsal vertebra (102 mm), tenth dorsal vertebra (97 mm), twelfth dorsal vertebra (102 mm), fourteenth dorsal vertebra (82 mm), most dorsal ribs (to 600 mm), sacrum (100, 95, 90, 90, 95 mm), two mid caudal vertebrae, chevron, metacarpal I, phalanx I-1, manual ungual I, phalanges II-1, metacarpal III (70 mm), phalanx III-3, manual ungual III, incomplete ilium, pubis (585 mm), proximal ischial fragment, femur (600 mm), tibia (580 mm), incomplete fibula, metatarsal II (275 mm), phalanx II-1, phalanx II-2, pedal ungual II, phalanx III-1, metatarsal IV, phalanx IV-1, phalanx IV-2, phalanx IV-4, pedal ungual IV
Paratype- (QW200702) (juvenile) femur (220 mm)
Diagnosis- (after Li et al., 2009) supraoccipital with sharp midline ridge; frontal 2.4 times longer than wide; slender basipterygoid processes; atlantal intercentrum horseshoe-shaped; slender dorsal transverse processes; thin dorsal and sacral neural spines; distinct ventral sacral keel; conspicuous medial ridge along acetabular edge of ilium.
Comments- Li et al. (2009) assigned this taxon to Sinraptoridae, but Cau (online, 2009) referred it to Megalosauridae instead, as the sister taxon to Megalosaurus. As he noted, the elongate anterior maxillary ramus, lack of medial fenestrae in the antorbital fossa, long frontal, only slightly decurved paroccipital processes, and long dorsal centra are all more similar to megalosauroids than sinraptorids. In addition, I note a ventral keel is present in the sacra of Megalosaurus and "Brontoraptor", and the medial acetabular ridge is a megalosauroid synapomorphy in Benson's analysis. Carrano et al. (2012) found it to be an afrovenatorine particularly similar to Piveteausaurus.

Holotype- (OUM J12143) (~4.6 m; adult) incomplete dentaries, partial posterior dorsal vertebra, rib impressions, partial mid caudal vertebra (~66 mm), ilial fragment, pubes (one proximal; one incomplete), distal femora, tibiae (one proximal; one incomplete; 490 mm), distal fibula, fragments
Diagnosis- (after Rauhut, 2000) differs from Eustreptospondylus in the proximal extent of the pubic symphysis.
(after Sadleir et al., 2008) differs from Eustreptospondylus in having interdental plates which are taller than long; pubis with greater transverse expansion at acetabular margin in proximal view; lateral margin of distal femur concave in posterior view; dorsoventrally extending ridge on lateral surface of cnemial crest.
(after Benson, 2010) anteroposteriorly elongate foramina located ventrally on the lateral surface of the dentary.
Comments- In Carrano et al.'s (2012) matrix, it only takes a single step to move Magnosaurus from Afrovenatorinae and into Eustreptospondylinae as in Rauhut (2000).

Holotype- (MNHN 1920-7) (adult) frontals, parietals, braincase
Comments- Carrano et al. (2012) note that because the braincase is so similar to Leshansaurus, and other known megalosaurid braincases (Eustreptospondylus and Dubreuillosaurus) are from juveniles, the validity of this species is uncertain.
This taxon is generally placed in Megalosauridae (Taquet and Welles, 1977; Kurzanov, 1989), which was recently found in Benson's (2008, 2010) and Carrano et al.'s (2012) phylogenetic analyses. Exceptions are Allain (2002) and Paul (1988), who found it to be carnosaurian.

Holotype- (destroyed; plastoholotype MNHN 1897-2) cervical ribs (lost), dorsal ribs (lost), gastralia, twenty-one caudal vertebrae (lost), six chevrons (lost), scapula (lost), humerus (~306 mm), radius (170 mm), ulna (182 mm), metacarpal I (58 mm), phalanx I-1 (66 mm; lost), femur (lost), distal tibia (lost), partial fibula (lost), astragalus (lost), phalanx I-1, pedal ungual I, phalanx II-1, phalanx II-2, pedal ungual; II, metatarsal III, phalanx III-1, phalanx III-2, phalanx III-3, pedal ungual III, phalanx IV-2, phalanx IV-3, pedal ungual IV, ten gastroliths
Diagnosis- (after Allain and Chure, 2002) mid caudal neural spines as long as their corresponding centrum length; deltopectoral crest extending to midlength of humerus; ulna lacking olecranon process; distal end of radius as wide as proximal end; strong ulnar process at midlength of posteromedial edge of radius; convex lateral margin of ascending process of astragalus.
(after Rauhut, 2000) metacarpal I with small lateral flange behind distal articular facet.
Comments- YPM 4839 (2427) is listed in Carrano (1998) as Poekilopleuron? valens with metatarsal (180 mm) and humeral (323 mm) measurements, but the online catalogue indicates YPM 4839 is a cast of the Poekilopleuron bucklandii holotype perhaps measuring the ulna and humerus.  YPM 2427 is a Pteranodon proximal ulna, so the inclusion of this number by Carrano is unexplained.
Traditionally considered a megalosaurid (Allain, 2002; Holtz et al., 2004), Benson (2008, 2010) found it to be a carnosaur and more recently (Benson et al., 2010) a sinraptorid. Most recently, Carrano et al. (2012) recovered it as an afrovenatorine, though this is highly uncertain as only one more step is needed for it to be a piatnitzkysaurid, allosaur or any other kind of megalosaurid. Moving it to Sinraptoridae takes 4 more steps so is still quite possible.

Diagnosis- (after Rauhut, 2000) Dentary with strongly developed anterior expansion; anterior dentary teeth much larger than the relatively small and closely spaced posterior teeth; medial alveolar border is as high as the lateral border and formed by a sheet of bone of the dentary, rather than by separately ossified interdental plates; teeth almost round in basal cross section and only slightly recurved; very long premaxillae, forming a rostral rosette; seven premaxillary teeth; ventral margin of premaxilla strongly concave; anterior ramus of maxilla strongly elongated; angle between anterior and ventral ramus of the lacrimal less than 45�; dorsal vertebrae with several small vertical laminae connecting the transverse process with the neural spine dorsally; humerus extremely robust, with strongly expanded internal tuberosity and distal condyles; ulna with a broad and very strongly developed olecranon process; ischium with a long and low obturator flange.
Comments- Sereno's (in press) definition is the same as Holtz et al.'s (2004) except for the substitution of Torvosaurus for Megalosaurus. Sereno's has an advantage that Torvosaurus is more often included in analyses than Megalosaurus (Sereno, 1999; Rauhut, 2000; Allain, 2002), and has a more certain phylogenetic position. Incidentally, I believe a node-based Spinosauridae may be a better idea, for this stem-based one could include Chilantaisaurus (Rauhut, 2000, 2003), coelophysoids (Paul, 1988), tyrannosaurids (Walker, 1964), carcharodontosaurids (Bonaparte et al., 1990) and other taxa proposed to be more closely related to Spinosaurus than megalosaurids, allosaurids or birds.
Ex-spinosaurids- Candeiro et al. (2004) referred two teeth from the Adamantina Formation of Brazil (UFRJ-DG 354-Rd and UFRJ-DG 372-Rd) to Spinosauridae, but Machado et al. (2008) considered them more like to be crocodyliforms.  Canudo et al. (2004) and Salgado et al. (2009) referred a tooth (Endemas-PV 6) from the Cerro Lisandro Formation of Argentina to Spinosauridae and cf. Spinosauridae respectively, but Hasegawa et al. (2010) referred it to Hamadasuchus. Buffetaut (2008) considered teeth from the Tendaguru Formation of Tanzania (MB R 1084 and possibly 1091) previously referred to Labrosaurus stechowi to be spinosaurid, but Rauhut (2011) noted they were more similar to other stechowi teeth and thus possibly ceratosaurid.  Barrett et al. (2010) described cervical NMV P221081 from the Eumeralla Formation of Australia as a spinosaurid, but it was later referred to Megaraptoridae by Poropat et al. (2019).  Hone et al. (2010) described a tooth (XMDFEC V0010) from the Majiacun Formation of China as a baryonychine, but Kubota et al. (2017) reassigned it to a more generic theropod.

"Vectispinus" Naish, online 2022
Late Barremian, Early Cretaceous
Compton Chine, Cowleaze Chine Member, Vectis Formation, England
Material- (IWCMS 2018.30; White Rock spinosaurid) (~13 m) partial anterior dorsal vertebra (69.4 mm without condyle), two ?dorsal rib fragments, two synsacral centra (~156, ~142 mm), sacral or caudal central fragment, partial proximal caudal vertebra, two ilial fragments, two long bone fragments, four fragments
Comments- Discovered over several months in 2018, this was first mentioned by Austen and Batten (2018) as "theropod bones from Compton Bay, Isle of Wight (Fig. 46.1) (J.A.F. Lockwood, pers. comm. 2018)" with one element figured as 46.1 "Probable theropod pelvic fragment showing curved boring b (Vectis Formation at junction with the Wessex Formation, Compton Bay. IWCMS 2018.30)."  Barker et al. (2022) described the remains as Spinosauridae indet., "with enormous dimensions similar to those of the Spinosaurus holotype and exceeding those of the largest European theropods previously reported."  While no total length estimate was provided, scaling the proximal caudal centrum height from Baryonyx in their table 5 (assuming a 9.1 m Baryonyx) leads to 13.2 m which is identical to this site's estimate for the Spinosaurus type which has equal sacral centrum length to IWCMS 2018.30.  Hence the 13 m estimate given here.  Naish (online 2022) stated "Dinosaur species tend to be unique to specific geological formations, and ... there’s no indication from anatomy that these remains belong to any of the previously known Wealden spinosaurids ... For these reasons, we can be mildly confident that this is a new animal, and we did at times consider the possibility of giving it a name (cough 'Vectispinus')."  This is of course an intentional nomen nudum for reasons such as ICZN article 11.5 ("a name must be used as valid for a taxon when proposed") and 16.1 ("Every new name published after 1999, including new replacement names (nomina nova), must be explicitly indicated as intentionally new").
Barker et al. (2022) used Cau's Wessex baryonychine matrix to recover it very weakly supported as a spinosaurine basal to Ichthyovenator and Spinosaurus.  They found "Three characters were shared between the White Rock spinosaurid and other spinosaurines, all from the anterior caudal series: the presence of centrodiapophyseal laminae (Ch. 358:1), the presence of prezygodiapophyseal laminae (Ch. 626:1), and the presence of a deep prezygocentrodiapophyseal fossa (Ch. 1605:1)", but that Ichthyovenator and Spinosaurus "appear to show that fossae and laminae become less prominent in the more posterior parts of the axial skeleton" and that the caudal of IWCMS 2018.30.3 [is considered to be] to be more anteriorly placed than any of the known caudal elements of Riparovenator or Vallibonavenatrix" that were scored for baryonychine proximal caudal morphology.  Thus the characters may be present in the currently unknown proximalmost baryonychine caudals as well.

unnamed possible spinosaurid (Bittencourt and Kellner, 2003)
Albian, Early Cretaceous
Romualdo Formation of Santana Group, Brazil

Material- (MN 4743-V) (subadult) incomplete third and fourth sacral vertebrae, fifth sacral vertebra, six proximal caudal vertebrae, three proximal chevrons
Comments- Bittencourt and Kellner (2003) excluded MN 4743-V from Ceratosauria based on the lack of a synsacrum and a ventral midline groove on the proximal caudal centra. They excluded it from Coelurosauria based on the transversely rounded ventral sacral margin and anterior chevrons with a roblike proximal section. They suggested spinosaurid affinities based on the infradiapophyseal laminae on the proximal caudals, as well as undisclosed similarities to an undescribed specimen (MN 4819-V) tentatively referred to that family.
However, a ventral midline groove on proximal caudal centra is present in nearly every theropod, even Shuvuuia (only the first two caudals are keeled). It's absence is only reported for Elaphrosaurus, Carnotaurus, Eustreptospondylus, Cristatusaurus, Shaochilong and Ornithomimus? sedens. Additionally, synsacra are highly variable in theropods (seemingly due to age and individual variation). "Ceratosaurs" (sensu lato) that lack complete sacral fusion include Liliensternus, some Coelophysis rhodesiensis specimens, Dilophosaurus and abelisaurids. Tyrannosauroids lack ventrally flattened sacral centra, a condition that has also been reported for SMNK 2349 PAL and Ornitholestes. Thus, the flat venter may be a maniraptoriform character, not a coelurosaurian one. I have not observed any difference in the anteroposterior elongation of the proximal end of anterior chevrons between coelurosaurs and non-coelurosaurs. The expansion seen in most coelurosaurs (but not all- eg. Gallimimus) is also found in many other theropods, such as Dilophosaurus, Torvosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus and Allosaurus. This is mostly caused by paired anterior processes at the proximal end. Baryonyx lacks these however, adding further proof to their possible spinosaurid identification.

undescribed spinosaurid (Kellner, 2001)
Albian, Early Cretaceous
Romualdo Member of Santana Formation, Brazil

Material- (MN 4819-V) dorsal vertebrae, sacrum, caudal vertebrae, incomplete forelimbs including carpal, metacarpals, phalanges and manual ungual I, ilium (553 mm), pubis, ischium, incomplete hindlimbs
Comments- Both Kellner (2001) and Kellner and Bittencourt (2004) incorrectly referred to this specimen as MN 4802-V instead of 4819-V (Machado and Kellner, 2005). Kellner stated the manual ungual I is large and the ischium has an obturator notch. Machado and Kellner stated it has tall neural spines as well. Bittencourt and Kellner stated it was indeterminate but also that it differed from MN 4743-V.

unnamed possible spinosaurid (Leonardi and Borgomanero, 1981)
Albian, Early Cretaceous
Romualdo Member of Santana Formation, Brazil

Material- (MN 7021-V; = CB-PVF-089) partial dorsal rib
Comments- This was described as an ornithischian ischium by Leonardi and Borgomanero (1981), but Kellner (1996) felt it needed further preparation to identify which element and dinosaurian clade it represents. This preparation was completed after Borgomanero's death which transferred the specimen from his private collection to the MN. Machado and Kellner (2001a, b) then were able to identify it as a large dinosaur's rib, which they provisionally referred to Spinosauridae as that is the only large dinosaur material currently known from that formation.

undescribed possible Spinosauridae (Harris and Russell, 1986 unpublished)
Campanian?, Late Cretaceous
lower member of Lapurr Sandstone (= Turkana Grits), Kenya

Material- (KNM coll.)
Comments- Discovered in a 1985 KNM expedition (Williamson and Savage, 1986; Owusu Agyemang et al., 2019), Harris and Russell (1986) reported a possible spinosaurid from what was then called the Turkana Grits in Kenya.  They used this to support a "middle" Cretaceous age.  Unfortunately, this document is only an unpublished manuscript which has had low distribution.  The second-hand source of Weishampel et al. (1990) listed "cf. Spinosaurus sp." and "?Late Cretaceous ("middle" Cretaceous; Harris and Ruissell MS)."  The second edition of the book keeps the same taxonomic list but Weishampel et al. (2004) now states the age as "Turonian-Santonian (Westcott et al. 1993)."  The latter has made this a potentially important find because spinosaurids are unknown globally after the Cenomanian.  However, Westcott et al. (1993) reports nothing more precise than Cretaceous for these sediments.  O'Connor et al. (2011) state "an estimate of Upper Cretaceous (Turonian-early Campanian) is based on comparisons with subsurface geological information and overall faunal composition" while Owusu Agymang et al. report "palynological evidence supports a Campanian–Maastrichtian age" without supporting evidence.  Thus both taxonomic identity and stratigraphic age are unevidenced assertions at the moment.

undescribed possible Spinosauridae (Serrano-Martinez, Ortega and Knoll, 2013)
Bathonian-Oxfordian, Middle-Late Jurassic
Tiouraren Formation of the Irhazer Group, Niger

Material- (MUPE HB-87) tooth (23.8x12.7x8.8 mm) (Serrano-Martinez, Ortega and Knoll, 2013; described by Serrano-Mart�nez, Vidal, Scisio, Ortega and Knoll, in press)
(TP4-2) tooth (17.8x10.7x7.4 mm) (Serrano-Martinez, Ortega, Sciscio, Tent-Manclus, Bandera and Knoll, 2015)
(TP4-3) tooth (20.7x8.2x6.4 mm) (Serrano-Martinez, Ortega, Sciscio, Tent-Manclus, Bandera and Knoll, 2015)
Comments- Serrano-Martinez et al. (2013) announced what is probably MUPE HB-87 in an abstract, which was later described by Serrano-Martinez et al. (in press). Serrano-Martinez et al. (2015) described two additional teeth, TP4-2 and TP4-3. All of these were viewed as intermediate between basal tetanurines and spinosaurids. They have BW/FABL ratios of 69%, 69% and 78% respectively. HB-87 has mesial and distal serrations which average 20/5 mm and 18/5 mm respectively, the mesial ones which don't continue basally. TP4-2 lacks mesial serrations but has 12 serrations per 5 mm, while TP4-3 lacks serrations. All have sculptured enamel as in spinosaurids, but only the TP specimens have fluting.

(UOP.97) tooth (Charig and Milner, 1997)
Comments- The teeth described by Martill and Hutt (1996) as Baryonychidae differ from those in the holotype in having strong labial fluting, but variation of this kind is also known in Cristatusaurus, Spinosaurus and Oxalaia. Thus it should not be used as a diagnostic character for distinguishing spinosaurid species. While they also assign MIWG 5120 to Baryonychidae, Hutt (2001) lists it as Theropoda indet..
Hutt and Newbery (2004) describe a tall-spined dorsal vertebra (cast UOP C001.2004) as Baryonyx walkeri. This vertebra was originally in a private collection but cast as UOP C001.2004, and has since been officially deposited as IWCMS 2012.563 (Mattsson, pers. comm. 2015). It is illustrated in Naish (2011), who stated it differs from the B. walkeri holotype "in possessing
a much taller neural spine and a prominent spinodiapophyseal lamina."
Although often referred to Baryonyx or B. walkeri itself based on the correlation of the Wessex Formation and Upper Weald Clay, the 2021 description of Wesssex baryonychines Ceratosuchops and Riparovenator complicates matters.  Neither taxon preserves manual or dorsal material, although if Cristatusaurus is a ceratosuchopsin the tall neural spine would make sense referred to one of the Wessex baryonychines instead of the short-spined Baryonyx.

Comments- MPZ 97/468 was originally described as Theropoda indet. B by Ruiz-Omenaca et al. (1997), and later assigned to Baryonychidae indet. (Ruiz-Omenaca et al., 1998). Canudo and Ruiz-Omenaca (2003) illustrated MPZ 2001/207 and 2001/208 as Baryonychinae indet.. These three specimens and MPZ 2005/303-315 were described in detail by Ruiz-Omenaca et al. (2005).
The teeth are generally similar to Baryonyx, but differ in being more labiolingually compressed, having labial fluting and a greater variation in serration density (6-13 per mm vs. 7 per mm).

Suchosaurus Owen, 1841
Comments- Owen (1841) originally named this as a subgenus of Crocodylus. Milner (2003) has noted Suchosaurus teeth are identical or extremely similar to Baryonyx, while Buffetaut (2007) referred Suchosaurus girardi to Baryonyx sp.. The only noted difference from the Baryonyx holotype is the presence of strong labial fluting, compared to the weak or absent fluting in Baryonyx. However, fluting is known to vary in Cristatusaurus, Spinosaurus and Oxalaia, and labial fluting is also present in the Wessex baryonychines Ceratosuchops and Riparovenator. Thus it should not be used as a diagnostic character for spinosaurid teeth. This leaves both Suchosaurus species indeterminate relative to Ceratosuchops and Riparovenator, although S. cultridens lived slightly earlier than both.  Only material from the Grinstead and Wadhurst Clay Formations is here retained in Suchosaurus, as this is where the syntypes derive from, slightly earlier in time than Baryonyx as well.
Note that contra Fowler's (2007 online) statements, Baryonychinae, Spinosauridae/Baryonychidae and Spinosauroidea are not in danger of being junior synonyms of family-level taxa named after Suchosaurus ("Suchosaurinae", "Suchosauridae" or "Suchosauroidea"). This is because no family-level taxon based on Suchosaurus has been published, and it's the date of family-level publication, not genus publication, that counts for priotity in family-level names.

Referred
- (NHMUK R4415) tooth (30 mm) (Mantell, 1827)
teeth (Austen et al., 2010)
Diagnosis- Indeterminate within Baryonychinae.
Comments- Mantell first discovered Suchomimus teeth around 1820, with one of the teeth in NHMUK R36536 illustrated by Cuvier (1824) as crocodylian and NHMUK R4415 mentioned by Mantell (1827) as resembling Teleosaurus and Gavialis. However, Owen (1841) was the first to name them as a new taxon of crocodilian, figuring another tooth from NHMUK R36536. Specifically, Owen erected Suchosaurus as a subgenus of Crocodylus, similar to material later named Pristichampsus. Vertebrae referred to the taxon by Owen (1842) (including NHMUK 2123 and 2138) were referred to Hylaeosaurus and Iguanodon respectively by Lydekker (1888). The species Suchosaurus laevidens (Owen, 1884) is probably a misspelling of S. cultridens. Long considered a pholidosaurid neosuchian, Olshevsky (DML, 2000) reported that Milner et al. have identified this as a spinosaurid (and possible synonym of Baryonyx) at SVP meetings. This was published by Milner (2003) and Buffetaut (2007, 2010). Fowler (2007 online) identified several teeth in the NHMUK crocodilian collections which are spinosaurid, and here referred to Suchosaurus based on provenence. Buffetaut reports the holotype has marked labial and lingual fluting, wrinkled enamel and apparently worn off serrations.
Austen et al. (2010) reported additional teeth he referred to Baryonyx walkeri from the Wadhurst Clay.

Suchosaurus? girardi Sauvage, 1898
Early Barremian, Early Cretaceous
Papo Seco Formation, Portugal
Holotype
- (MG324) three dentary fragments, tooth (lost)
Diagnosis- Indeterminate within Baryonychinae.
Comments- The formation has also been identified as the Gres Marneux a Grands Sauriens (Choffat, 1904), and does not belong to the Almargem Beds, contra Choffat and Sauvage (1898).
Sauvage described the holotype as a goniopholidid but never diagnosed the species relative to Suchosaurus cultridens (it is not a nomen nudum however, as diagnoses are not required by the ICZN prior to 1931- Article 12.1). Indeed, Buffetaut noted they are virtually identical in dental morphology. Note that Iberospinus natarioi is known from a partial skeleton (MML 1190) from the same formation, and that girardi's fragments do not preserve the autapomorphic areas of Iberospinus' dentary.  Furthermore, Mateus et al. (2011) state "the teeth of NHM R36536 [Baryonyx walkeri holotype], MG324 and ML1190 are all essentially identical in morphology" and Mateus and Estraviz-Lopez (2022) found that morphometrically Iberospinus fell out within the range of variation of Baryonyx walkeri.  Thus while girardi is a plausible senior synonym of natarioi, this may not be possible to support anatomically and the presence of two baryonychines in the Wessex Formation makes any such synonymization questionable.
The teeth are recurved, only slightly compressed labiolingually, have densely wrinkled enamel, distinct labial and lingual fluting, and 6-7 serrations per mm.

"Weenyonyx" Molina-Perez and Larramendi, 2019
Barremian, Early Cretaceous
Wessex Formation of the Wealden Group, England

Material- (Simpson coll.) (juvenile?) manual ungual
Comments- Naish (DML 1997) noted "a tiny ungual that belongs to notorious fossil collector and lobster expert Martin Simpson" which "is apparently just like the type of _Baryonyx_ (I haven't seen it) but is only about 5 cm long. Munt and Hutt (Sandown Museum of Isle of Wight Geology) refer to it as 'Weenyonyx'..."  Naish (1999) mentioned it as a claw from the Isle of Wight "measuring perhaps 10 cm long or less" and that Simpson "claims this is from a miniature Baryonyx - maybe a juvenile of Baryonyx walkeri?", but also notes "whether the claw does belong to a very small Baryonyx, or has anything to do with the baryonychids, and even whether it is from a theropod, has yet to be shown..."  While it probably would have been best to leave "Weenyonyx" as a nickname since apparently nobody was proposing it was a new taxon, Molina-Perez and Larramendi (2019) published it explicitly as a nomen nudum, also stating ""Weenyonyx" is an informal name given to a small claw. It could have belonged to a young Baryonyx walkeri..."  If it is a baryonychine, Ceratosuchops and Riparovenator are now known from the same formation, but as Naish said without further information even its identification as a theropod is provisional.

Iberospinus Mateus and Estraviz-Lopez, 2022
I. natarioi Mateus and Estraviz-Lopez, 2022
Early Barremian, Early Cretaceous
Papo Seco Formation, Portugal
Holotype
- (MML 1190) (23-25 year old adult) partial dentary, dentary fragment, three teeth (36.61x17.41x14.03 mm), dorsal centrum (~160 mm), two partial dorsal neural arches, dozens of dorsal rib fragments, ~fourth caudal centrum (95.73 mm), incomplete ~eighth caudal centrum (108.26 mm), incomplete ~ninth caudal vertebra (105.66 mm), incomplete ~tenth caudal vertebra (101.89 mm), partial ~eleventh caudal vertebra (98.35 mm), incomplete ~twelfth caudal centrum, incomplete ~seventeenth caudal vertebra (83.23 mm), eighteenth caudal centrum (80.27 mm), incomplete ~twentieth caudal vertebra (88.15 mm), partial ~twenty-first caudal centrum, ~twenty-third caudal vertebra (81.82 mm), partial ~twenty-fourth caudal centrum, ~twenty-fifth caudal centrum (73.79 mm), ~twenty-sixth caudal centrum (81.82 mm), ~twenty-eighth caudal vertebra (74.91 mm), zygapophyseal; fragments, probable chevron fragments, proximal scapula, ilial fragment, partial pubis, calcanea (one partial), pedal ungual (88 mm)
Diagnosis- (after Mateus and Estraviz-Lopez, 2022) dentary with single foramen in Meckelian groove; dentary with straight ventral edge; lamina in lateral central fossa of ~twenty-eighth caudal vertebra; dorsal scapular rim straight (acromion not protruding; scapula with reduced acromial ridge; scapular contact with coracoid occupies the entire proximal surface; pubic apron thick over almost entire length of shaft; mound-like eminence in proximolateral part of pubis.
Comments- Discovered in 1999, this was initially reported in an abstract as being from the overlying Boca de Chapim Formation (Mateus et al., 2008).  They referred it to Spinosauridae aff. Baryonyx walkeri based on serrated teeth, which are now recognized as present in all baryonychines.  The "fragmentary ischium" mentioned may have been reidentified as the "possible pubic peduncle of left ilium" listed in its 2011 description.  In this latter paper, Mateus et al. refer the specimen to Baryonyx walkeri itself because both MML 1190 and the walkeri holotype differ "from Suchomimus tenerensis (MNN GDF500) because, in ventral view, the lateral margin of the pubic shaft of ML1190 is straight" and "despite the presence of some morphological differences such as the mound-like eminence on the lateral surface of the proximal pubis, because these differences are likely within the range of regular intraspecific variation."  Mateus and Estraviz-Lopez (2022) noted new material had been discovered in June 2020 (tooth, dorsal centrum, zygapophyseal and dorsal rib fragments, tenth, twelfth, seventeenth, eighteenth, twenty-third to twenty-sixth, and twenty-eighth caudal vertebrae/centra), and recognized what had seemingly been regarded as two different partial dorsal neural arches (MML 1190-6 and 1190-8) were parts of the same arch, with the fourth arch listed on page 58 but not 59 seemingly being a typo.  The identifications of right and left calcanea were also switched.  Mateus and Estraviz-Lopez say "Numerous parts of zygapophyses, ribs and probably chevrons" were found associated, but only four dorsal ribs and no zygapophyses or chevrons are listed in their Table 1.  Mateus and Estraviz-Lopez also use the aforementioned pubic eminence and other characters to recognize the specimen as a distinct genus.
Note that Suchosaurus? girardi is known from dentary fragments with teeth (MG324) from the same formation, and do not preserve the autapomorphic areas of Iberospinus' dentary.  Furthermore, Mateus et al. (2011) state "the teeth of NHM R36536 [Baryonyx walkeri holotype], MG324 and ML1190 are all essentially identical in morphology" and Mateus and Estraviz-Lopez (2022) found that morphometrically Iberospinus fell out within the range of variation of Baryonyx walkeri.  Thus while girardi is a plausible senior synonym of natarioi, this may not be possible to support anatomically and the presence of two baryonychines in the Wessex and Arcillas de Morella Formations makes any such synonymization questionable.
Arden et al. (2019) analyzed this taxon in a version of Carrano et al.'s tetaurine matrix (as "Praia_das_Aguncheiras") and recovered it in a trichotomy with baryonychines and spinosaurines.  Mateus and Estraviz-Lopez (2022) added characters to and drastically reduced taxonomic sampling from this analysis and recovered the same results.  Barker et al. (2021) found MML 1190 had an unresolved position within Baryonychinae using Cau's matrix.

Diagnosis- (after Santos-Cubedo et al., 2023) subcircular depression in the anterior corner of the antorbital fossa in the maxilla.
Comments- The type material was excavated between 2002 and 2023.  4ANA-11 was initially described as Baryonychinae indet. (Su�er and Santos-Cubedo, 2008).  They concluded "due to the curvature of the crown, the denticles on both carinae (7 dent./mm on the mesial margin and 6 dent./mm on the distal) and the presence of little striae marked only on the lingual surface (7-9) it is similar to the teeth of Baryonyx walkeri (7 dent./mm on both carinae and grooves on the lingual side only, Charig & Miner, 1997) and different from the baryonychine morphotypes described in the Iberian Peninsula to date" (translated).  Santos-Cubedo et al. (2023) say "The centra of the vertebrae are fused to the neural arch, suggesting that the material belongs to a subadult or an adult form."  In comparison with the contemporaneous Vallibonavenatrix cani, Santos-Cubedo et al. write "V. cani is different in size, and ANA fossils are at least twice as large as from Vallibona. Another difference is the circular outlines of the articular facets that are approximately as wide as they are high in V. cani, while in a similar position (Ca9), those of P. cinctorrensis (3ANA83, 4ANA69, 5ANA78) are clearly oval. The same occurs with the neural canal.  The anterior and posterior edges are at the same level in Vallibona specimens, while in ANA vertebrae, the posterior edge is lower than the anterior edge. Postzygapophyses are short, projecting only slightly beyond the level of the posterior articular facet, in contrast with those from ANA, which clearly surpass the posterior articular facet. Finally, the transverse process of P. cinctorrensis is longer."
Teeth from Mas de la Parreta were first misidentified as plesiosaur Tooth Morphotype 2 (including CMP-3-369) by Yague et al. (2003), considered close to Polyptychodon.  The teeth differ from Baryonyx in having both lingual and labial fluting. They have 5-9 serrations per mm on mesial carinae (when present) and and 5-9 on distal carinae. A few (CMP-3-369, 790, 791 and 9-49) lack both mesial and distal serrations, so may be spinosaurines or may reflect positional variation.  Cervical "CMP-3b/42 can be distinguished from the vertebrae of the cervical series of Baryonyx walkeri (NHMUK R9951) in the more elongated epipophyses, which extends well-beyond the posterior articular facet in CMP-3b/42 whereas it ends near the posterior level of the facet in Baryonyx walkeri" (Malafaia et al., 2018).  They also find that unlike Baryonyx walkeri, "in CMP-3b/211 both distal condyles of the femur are at approximately the same ventral level with the lateral condyle extending only slightly beyond the medial one as is also present in Suchomimus." On the proximal femoral surface, "the groove in CMP-3b/211 and CMP-MS-0/22 is much narrower and restricted, resembling a deep notch whereas the 'articular groove' observable in Ceratosaurus and Baryonyx is a broad and shallow concavity between the femoral head and the great trochanter. A groove similar to those present on the proximal surface of the femora from Morella may be also present in Suchomimus, but the holotype femur of this taxon is somewhat distorted in this area making it difficult to confirm the presence of this structure."  "The femora from Morella [and Niger] also differ from those of Baryonyx in the morphology of the proximal end, being much more anteroposteriorly compressed in NHMUK R9951 than in CMP-3b/211 and CMP-MS-0/22."  Baryonyx walkeri is also different from the Mas de la Parreta and Elrhaz femora in that "a well-developed crest that projects anteriorly from the lateral surface and extends into the proximal end of the femur forming a broad concavity with the diaphysis."  Unlike the type of Suchomimus, "the lesser trochanter in CMP-MS-0/22 is placed at the level of the ventral margin of the femoral head as also occur in Spinosaurus and most avetheropods" and "the tibiofibular crest has a rectangular shape in distal view, with the lateral margin slightly tapered and projecting laterally whereas in Suchomimus (as well as in Baryonyx) the crest is much narrower, with lateral and medial margins approximately parallel and a much broader groove separating the crest from the distal margin of the condyle."  Notably, the proximal caudal figured by Ortega et al. (2006) is more similar to Protathlitis than Vallibonavenatrix in- larger size; posteroventral central edge much lower than anteroventral edge; postzygapophyses extend far posterior to centrum.  Thus the Mas de la Parreta baryonychine is here provisionally referred to Protathlitis.
Santos-Cubedo et al. (2023) added Protathlitis to Sereno et al.'s 2022 spinosaurid analysis and recovered it as a baryonychine outside Baryonyx plus ceratosuchopsins, but adding data from the Mas de la Parreta material should significantly improve the results.

Comments- The holotype was discovered in the late 1980s to early 1990s and placed in Forner's private collection, made public in 1994.  It was first published by G�mez-Fern�ndez et al. (2007a, b) who briefly described the pelvis.  Malafaia et al. (2018) stated "a specimen represented by cervical, dorsal, caudal and sacral vertebrae, the ilia and the ischia of an indeterminate spinosaurid have been described from the Arcillas de Morella Formation."  Malafaia et al. (2019) named and described the specimen as Vallibonavenatrix cani in a journal pre-print posted August 19 2019, but this was electronic and had no mention of ZooBank, so it was a nomen nudum (ICZN Article 8.5.3. states names published electronically must "be registered in the Official Register of Zoological Nomenclature (ZooBank) (see Article 78.2.4) and contain evidence in the work itself that such registration has occurred") until the paper volume of February 2020.
Malafaia et al. (2019) added Vallibonavanatrix to Carrano et al.'s tetanurine matrix and recovered it as a spinosaurid, within Spinosaurinae based on sharing a peg/socket ilioischial articulation with Ichthyovenator.  If this placement is correct, perhaps the serrationless teeth belong to the taxon while the serrated ones belong to a different baryonychine, and the hindlimb elements to either.  However, Barton et al. (2021) used Cau's matrix to recover it as the basalmost baryonychine, which might suggest the serrated teeth should be referred to it.

Referred- (Maidstone Museum MNEMG 1996.133) tooth (Charig and Milner, 1997)
Diagnosis- (after Sereno et al., 1998) marked transverse constriction of the sacral or anterior caudal centra; well-formed peg-and-notch articulation between the scapula and coracoid; everted distal margin of the pubic blade; very shallow fibular fossa.
Other diagnoses- Sereno et al. (1998) also listed fused nasals with a median crest terminating posteriorly in a cruciate process and a solid subrectangular lacrimal horn, but these are also present in Riparovenator so may be baryonychine synapomorphies.
Comments- Sereno et al. (1998) reidentified the supposed jugal from Charig and Milner (1997) as a preartcular, the postorbital as a posterior surangular fragment, the atlantal neurapophysis as a partial pterygoid, and the left angular as being from the right side. Evers et al. (2015) reidentified the position of each presacral vertebra based on comparison to spinosaurines.  Barker et al. (2022) stated "An isolated neural arch belonging to NHMUK PV R 9951 was identified as that of an anterior caudal vertebra by Charig & Milner (1997). However, the presence of a hyposphene and well-developed centrodiapophyseal laminae alternatively suggest that the element instead belongs to a posterior dorsal vertebra, an identification also proposed by Charig & Milner ..."

(MNN GDF coll.) teeth, bones (Sereno et al., 1998)
(MNN GDF coll.) snout (Ibrahim and Sereno, 2011)
Diagnosis- (after Taquet and Russell, 1988) sagittal crest on premaxilla.
(modified after Sereno et al., 1998) elongate subnarial process that nearly excludes maxilla from external naris (unknown in other baryonychines); broadened posterior dorsal, sacral and proximal caudal neural spines; robust humeral tuberosities; hook-shaped radial entepicondyle.
Other diagnoses- Sereno et al. (1998) listed 'hypertrophied ulnar olecranon process that is offset from the humeral articulation' as a diagnostic character, but Carrano et al. (2012) note it is present in Baryonyx too.  They also listed heightened posterior dorsal, sacral and proximal caudal neural spines, but Riparovenator has tall caudal neural spines as well, and a Wessex dorsal possibly belonging to it or Ceratosuchops has a heightened dorsal neural spine.
Comments- Contra Sereno et al. (1998), Charig and Milner (1997) and Carrano et al. (2012), Cristatusaurus is not a nomen dubium. Taquet and Russell (1998) are correct in noting the "brevirostrine" condition distinguishes Cristatusaurus from Baryonyx, except that they define this as having a sagittal crest (pg. 351) as opposed to the more obvious interpretation of having a short snout. A Suchomimus paratype (MNN GDF 501) has a sagittal crest too. This may be due to ontogeny, but the same can be said of the characters Sereno et al. proposed to distinguish Suchomimus from Baryonyx, and Ceratosuchops and Riparovenator are now known to lack crests as well. In addition, Cristatusaurus and Suchomimus resemble each other more than Baryonyx in having a less rounded anterodorsal margin to their premaxillae (also in Ceratosuchops but not Riparovenator), and having a comparatively larger second alveolus (though it is smaller in Suchomimus than Cristatusaurus; also in Riparovenator but not Ceratosuchops). Since both are from the same formation, share an apparently apomorphy, and have no obvious differences besides alveolar proportions, they are synonymized here.
Several authors have suggested synonymizing Cristatusaurus/Suchomimus with Baryonyx (Charig and Milner, 1997; Milner pers. comm. 1999 to Naish et al., 2001; Sues et al., 2002). While Charig and Milner's (1997) decision to sink the Cristatusaurus material into Baryonyx sp. indet. made sense prior to the naming of Cristatusaurus or Suchomimus, one cannot now sink a named species like lapparenti into "sp. indet.", nor can one sink Cristatusaurus into Baryonyx without placing Suchomimus there too (as nothing suggests lapparenti is closer to walkeri than to tenerensis; quite the opposite, as seen above). Thus Buffetaut and Ouaja (2002) were wrong to formally sink Cristatusaurus into Baryonyx sp. but leave Suchomimus as provisionally valid. Similarly, even though Sues et al. state "There exists at present no evidence to indicate the presence of more than one taxon of spinosaurid in the faunal assemblage from GAD 5", they incorrectly refer to this taxon as Baryonyx tenerensis instead of B. lapparenti (which would have priority if lapparenti and tenerensis are one taxon). The combination Baryonyx lapparenti has yet to appear in the literature, however. Ultimately, this is a subjective decision since there is no objective definition of 'genus', and the more recent naming of Vallibonavenatrix, Iberospinus, Protathlitis and especially Ceratosuchops and Riparovenator shows the community accepts baryonychine species as non-congeneric.  The latter two taxa were recovered closer to Cristatusaurus (as Suchomimus) by their describers, so would also be species of Baryonyx if lapparenti was accepted as such.  Finally, sinking all baryonychines into Baryonyx would also imply Suchosaurus was congeneric as well, creating a taxonomic issue since it has 145 years of priority over Baryonyx
Taquet (1976) describes a dorsal neural arch as identical to Becklespinax and very similar to Spinosaurus, so this may belong to Cristatusaurus.  Ibrahim and Sereno (2011) remark on "complete snout and braincase material" of Suchomimus, the latter no doubt MNN GDF 214 as mentioned by Paulina-Carabajal et al. (2019) and Barker et al. (2021).  Fanti et al. (2014) list many "Baryonychinae indet." teeth from Gadoufoua, here provisionally referred to Cristatusaurus.
Samathi et al. (2019) measured the holotype tibia as 960 mm instead of Sereno et al.'s 945 mm, and provides some additional details.

Diagnosis- (after Barker et al., 2021) premaxilla with tuberosity at anterior edge of external naris; narrow subcondylar recess of basioccipital; subcondylar recess ventrally separated from occipital condyle; deep, elongate sulci medial to oval scars on basisphenoid; anteroposteriorly thick interbasipterygoidal web; supraoccipital dorsal process possessing a gently curving posteroventral surface in coronal section.
Comments- Discovered between 2014 and 2021, the premaxillae and braincase are smaller than Riparovenator, while the isolated postorbital was referred "as the dimensions of the articular facets of the postorbital, while damaged, match those of the respective frontal and laterosphenoid articulations."  Barker et al.

Comments- Discovered between 2014 and 2020, the premaxillae and braincase are larger than Ceratosuchops while the isolated nasal fragment was referred "due to its size (the ventral frontal facet appears too large for the nasal process of the Ceratosuchops frontal) and similar state of preservation"  The caudal elements were referred "due to their close proximity (c. 10m) to the
holotype basicranial complex."  Barker et al. (2021) used Cau's megamatrix to recover it sister to Ceratosuchops in their new Ceratosuchopsini within Baryonychinae.

Referred- .... proximal caudal vertebra, femur, pedal ungual (Rauhut, Canudo and Castanera, 2019)
Diagnosis- (after Sanchez-Hernandez and Benton, 2014) caudal vertebrae with articular surfaces that have well developed edges and are unusually broad; extremely long tibia proximal end, with ratio of anteroposterior/mediolateral axis of 2.8.
Other diagnoses- While Sanchez-Hernandez and Benton (2014) included 'chevron with a deep broad longitudinal groove along the length of the shaft arising from a fossa placed below the haemal canal on the anterior and posterior side' in the diagnosis, Samathi et al. (2021) noted it "is present in other spinosaurids such as Suchomimus (MNBH GAD G94-52, A.S. pers. obs.) and the Khok Kruat spinosaurid (SM-KK14, A.S. pers. obs.)."  Similarly, the original authors propose 'tibia with a narrow and deep longitudinal groove placed anterior to the crista fibularis on the medial [actually lateral] surface', but Samathi et al. state this "is also found in the Spinosaurus neotype (FSAC-KK 11,888, A.S. pers. obs.), although this feature" ... "might be present due to pathology or crushing because it is present on only one of the two preserved tibiae" and is also "found in one of the tibiae of Suchomimus (MNBH GAD 500, A.S. pers. obs.)."  Finally they proposed 'articular surface on the distal end of the chevron blade' based on supposed ventral chevron tip MPG-KPC6, but as theropod chevrons don't articulate ventrally with anything, this fragment is more likely to be a distal anterior dorsal rib (articulating with sternal ribs) if it belongs to the specimen.
Comments- Sanchez-Hernandez and Benton (2014) described this as a basal ceratosaur more derived than Limusaurus, but less than Elaphrosaurus, MNN TIG6 and neoceratosaurs using Carrano and Sampson's ceratosaur matrix.  Note the holotype is only listed as MPG-KPC1-46, but numbers through 51 are then described in the detailed list, except vertebra MPG-KPC24 and 25-29 and 40-42 that are presumably the "several isolated broken fragments of bones."  Rauhut et al. (2019) reported "Further excavation at the type locality yielded some additional elements, presumably of the type individual, including an anterior caudal vertebra, a complete femur, and a pedal ungual."
Wang et al. (2016) noted "A fragmentary vertebra tentatively identified as a cervical [MPG-KPC24] most likely represents an anterior dorsal based on the position of the parapophyses and presence of a hypapophysis" and that "the morphology of the hypapophysis in Camarillasaurus more strongly resembles those found in some coelurosaurs (e.g. Nomingia, Avimimus, Mononykus) than the structure on dorsal 1 of Elaphrosaurus."  Samathi (2019) found "It is too small to belong to the same individual or even the same taxon as Camarillasaurus", and Samathi et al. (2021) excluded the element from the type material.  It is listed here under Maniraptora incertae sedis.
Rauhut et al. suggested "A supposed cervical vertebra is a posterior dorsal vertebra", probably referring to MPG-KPC9 considered "most likely a cervical" by Sanchez-Hernandez and Benson.  The offset central faces are thus due to deformation, and the absent pleurocoel and parapophysis not located on the centrum would support Rauhut et al.'s identification.
Rauhut et al. also suggested "several supposed dorsal vertebrae are caudal vertebrae", which would seem likely for MPG-KPC17, MPG-KPC20 and MPG-KPC21 at least, which have the transversely compressed centra with ventral grooves typical of proximal caudal vertebrae.  MPG-KPC51 was identified as "a posterior cervical vertebra or an anterior dorsal" by Sanchez-Herndandez and Benton, but may be a left fragment of an anterior-mid cervical upside down, with the labeled 'postzygapophysis' being an epipophysis and the horizontal ridge being the postzygapophysodiapophyseal lamina.  MPG-KPC39 is described as "a broken dorsal neural arch" but the supposed prezygapophyses are clearly postzygapophyses because their articular surfaces angle ventrally, and the element is a caudal based on the nearly vertical zygapophyseal surfaces and unexpanded hypantrum.  The triangular and rectangular fossae indicated in figure 5B2 are probably simply erosional.  MPG-KPC31-33 "may be broken tops of neural spines", but are too short to be from dorsal vertebrae and may be caudal neural spine tips (or transverse processes) instead.
Wang et al. also correctly noted "Though six sacral vertebrae were inferred in Camarillasaurus, it should be noted that the authors only identified the remains of five vertebrae as sacrals."  Although Sanchez-Hernandez and Benton identified the fused sacrals as 2-4, Malafaia et al. (2020) figured them as 3-5 based on comparison to Vallibonavenatrix
Rauhut et al. note "the 'sternal plates' are parts of the scapulae", referring to MPG-KPC1-2, and the same may be true of MPG-KPC34-38 that are listed as "isolated remains of sternal plates."  The supposed coracoid strongly differs from ceratosaurian or megalosauroid theropods in being anterodistally expanded as in many paravians, having a thick lip on the lateral side of the posterior edge, and having a ventrally located foramen that is most likely damage.  The element is near certainly not a coracoid, although a proper identification would benefit from figures in multiple perspectives.
Contrary to Sanchez-Hernandez and Benton's phylogenetic conclusion, Rauhut et al. stated "is a megalosauroid tetanuran, and probably a spinosaurid", and the latter has since been confirmed by Samathi, Samathi et al. and Malafaia et al...  Samathi et al. added it to Carrano et al.'s tetanurine analysis and found "The spinosaurid character in Camarillasaurus is the lack of an anterior process on the chevron", while a "likely spinosaurine character in Camarillasaurus is pachyostosis in the tibia", matching Barker et al.'s (2021) recovery of it using Cau's megamatrix as the basalmost spinosaurine.

Early Cenomanian, Late Cretaceous
Alcantara Formation of the Itapecuru Group, Brazil
Holotype- (MN 6117-V) (skull ~1.35 m) incomplete premaxillae
Paratype- ?(MN 6119-V) maxillary fragment
Referred- ?(UFMA 1.10.229) distal caudal centrum (Medeiros and Schultz, 2002)
?(UFMA 1.10.240) distal caudal centrum (94 mm) (Medeiros and Schultz, 2002)
?(UFMA 1.20.070; morphotype 1) tooth (80 mm) (Medeiros and Schultz, 2002)
?(UFMA 1.20.443; morphotype 2) tooth (~101 mm) (Medeiros, 2006)
?(UFMA 1.20.444 SL; 25 morphotype 1, 95 morphotype 2 and 153 intermediates) 273 complete to fragmentary teeth (13-98 mm) (Medeiros, 2006)
Diagnosis- (after Kellner et al., 2011) maximum expansion of the distal end of the premaxillae between the 3rd and 4th alveoli; anterior projection of the maxillae between the premaxillae in the palatal region very thin; presence of two replacement teeth associated with the 3rd functional tooth; diastema between the 5th and 6th premaxillary teeth present but shorter than in Spinosaurus; ventral portion of the premaxillae very sculptured.
Other diagnoses- Kellner et al. (2011) also listed the lack of serrations in their diagnosis, but this is true of all spinosaurines.
Comments- Oxalaia's holotype was first mentioned in abstracts (Machado and Kellner, 2008; Machado et al., 2009) before being described as a new taxon by Kellner et al. (2011).
The isolated teeth are all unserrated and thus referred to Spinosaurinae. However, they vary morphologically with two extremes and numerous intermediates. Morphotype 1 is nearly straight with labial and lingual fluting, rounded in section and lacks enamel wrinkles at its base. Morphotype 2 is straight to gently curved, lacks fluting, is round to labiolingually compressed in section and sometimes has basal enamel wrinkles. While Medeiros considered morphotype 2 to be a different, otherwise unknown theropod taxon, I find it more likely that the numerous intermediates and similar size ranges indicate positional variation within the jaw. Kellner et al. noted morphotype 1 resembled Oxalaia from the same formation, so all of the teeth are tentatively referred to that taxon here.
Medeiros and Schultz (2002) referred two distal caudals to Sigilmassasaurus, which Ibrahim et al. (2014) recently synonymized with Spinosaurus. As the spinosaurine Oxalaia is from the same formation, it is likely the caudals belong to it.

Holotype
- (MDS BK10-01 to 15) twelfth dorsal vertebra (135 mm), partial thirteenth dorsal neural spine, posterior dorsal rib, dorsal rib (uncollected), first sacral neural spine, second sacral neural spine, fused partial second and third sacral vertebrae (third ~90 mm), third sacral neural spine, fourth sacral neural spine, fifth sacral neural spine, third sacral ribs, first caudal vertebra (101 mm), second caudal vertebra (95 mm), ilia (one incomplete; 920, 910 mm), pubes (one fragmentary; 650 mm), ischia (one incomplete; 496, 494 mm)
Referred- (presacrals are MDS BK10-16 to 25) three teeth, cervical series, first dorsal vertebra, seven caudal vertebrae, pubis (Allain, 2014)
(caudals are MDS BK97-02) teeth, vertebrae (Allain, 2014)
Diagnosis- (after Allain et al., 2012) sinusoidal dorsosacral sail; twelfth dorsal neural spine is 410% of centrum length with anterodistal finger-like process; posterior dorsal ribs articulated with sternal complex; fan-shaped sacral neural spines 3 and 4; transverse processes of first caudal vertebra with sigmoid profile in dorsal view; deep prezygapophyseal centrodiapophyseal fossae on first caudal vertebra; long iliac blade with ilium/pubis length ratio 1.46; proximal pubic plate with obturator and pubic notches; large ischial plate with ischial foramen (also in Monolophosaurus); mediolaterally flattened ischial shaft.
Comments- The holotype was discovered in 2010.
Allain (2014) discuss a new specimen preserving a first dorsal vertebra which is "nearly identical to" Sigilmassasaurus (now a junior synonym of Spinosaurus), showing an articular surface much wider than high (ratio of ~1.5) and absent interzygapophyseal laminae.
Relationships- Allain et al. (2012) found Ichthyovenator to be a basal baryonychine in their phylogenetic analysis. Yet adding it to the much larger matrix of Carrano et al. 2012 results in it being sister to Concavenator, with both sister to Allosauria in Carnosauria.  Given the Sigilmassasaurus-like cervicodorsals and newly recovered teeth in that specimen which are unrecurved and unserrated, Allain (2014) proposed Ichthyovenator was "more closely related to Spinosaurinae." Indeed, Barker et al. (2021) recovered it as a spinosaurine using Cau's matrix.
Several characters led to its placement in Allain et al.'s analysis. Ichthyovenator is a megalosauroid due to having a vertical ridge anterior to the hyposphene in the dorsal vertebra. But this is miscoded and is actually absent. It is a spinosaurid due to the tall dorsal neural spine, but these are also present in Concavenator, which was not included in their analysis. It is placed in Baryonychinae due to four characters- the basally webbed dorsal neural spine; an accessory centrodiapophyseal lamina on the dorsal, which is also present in the unincluded Concavenator; a mediolaterally expanded pubic boot; and a posterior pubic boot "reduced to a small flange". But this is correlated with the last character, as a reduced posterior pubic boot (with insignificant anterior boot) leads to a transversely expanded distal pubis, and indeed the only taxa coded as having the first state are also the only ones coded as having the second. It is excluded from Avetheropoda due to the small pubic boot as well. It is excluded from Allosauroidea because the posterior dorsal neural spine is not anteriorly inclined, but this is also true in Concavenator. It's also excluded from Allosauroidea because the ischial obturator foramen is closed. Yet the two coelurosaurs are miscoded as lacking an obturator notch; when that's corrected, Ichthyovenator's closed foramen becomes an autapomorphy. So of the nine characters, three are due to Allain et al. not including Concavenator in their matrix. Two are due to miscodings. The two pubic boot characters are correlated, so are really only one. Yet this character was not used by Carrano et al.. Finally, the neural spine webbing is valid and used by Carrano et al..
Several characters also led to its placement when added to Carrano et al.'s matrix. Ichthyovenator is sister to Concavenator due to three characters- tall dorsal neural spine (also in spinosaurids); accessory centrodiapophyseal lamina (also in baryonychines); peg-and-socket ilioischial articulation (not included by Allain et al.). It is an avetheropod because of four characters- narrow brevis fossa (coded more strictly in Allain et al.); m. cuppedicus shelf (not included by Allain et al.); open pubic obturator notch (however, Suchomimus and Baryonyx are miscoded by Carrano et al.); large and oval pubic obturator notch/foramen (not included by Allain et al.). It is excluded from Megalosauroidea due to lacking a vertical ridge anterior to the hyposphene (miscoded by Allain et al.) and having a vertical ilial ridge (not included by Allain et al.). So of these nine characters, two are correctly coded as also present in baryonychines, and another is miscoded as being absent in baryonychines. Five others aren't used by Allain et al., and another was miscoded by Allain et al.
In Allain et al.'s matrix, after recoding Ichthyovenator's hyposphene ridge and the coelurosaurs' obturator notches, and excluding the correlated pubic boot character, Ichthyovenator is still a baryonychine. Constraining it to be a non-allosauroid carnosaur takes five extra steps, which is down from the nine it took before (though it was slightly more nested in Carnosauria before, but only by two steps). If we add the five characters Allain et al. didn't use that support this position (the brevis fossa expansion counts too since it is an additional state of a character), then either alternative is equally parsimonious.
In Carrano et al.'s matrix, after recoding Baryonyx and Suchomimus for their obturator notches, Ichthyovenator is now a non-allosauroid carnosaur and Concavenator is back to Carcharodontosauridae (making them sister taxa like before is now one step longer). It now takes three more steps to make Ichthyovenator a spinosaurid, so that's dropped from five. If we add on the transversely wide pubic boot character that they didn't include, we could say it only takes two more steps to make Ichthyovenator a spinosaurid.
In conclusion, both matrices give almost the same answer- Ichthyovenator is either equally likely or two steps more likely to be a basal carnosaur instead of a baryonychine. The main flaw was that Allain et al. didn't include several useful characters, which is expected considering their total character number is 51% of Carrano et al.'s. Allain's (2014) new report of serrationless and unrecurved teeth could at least even the odds in favor of a spinosaurid identity, though these do contradict it being a baryonychine. This is perhaps why when those two characters are newly coded for Ichthyovenator in Carrano et al.'s matrix, the same general results are found as reported above (three more steps needed to move it from a basal carnosaur to a spinosaurid).  However, given the morphology of the undescribed teeth and cervicodorsals, the taxon is provisionally placed in Spinosaurinae here.

Diagnosis- (after Buffetaut and Ingavat, 1986) serrationless carinae; oval cross section; ~15 flutes on both labial and lingual sides.
Comments- Buffetaut and Ingavat (1983) briefly described and figured the type teeth, referring them "either to an unusual theropod dinosaur, or to some unknown crocodilian."  Buffetaut and Ingavat (1986) later fully described and named the teeth Siamosaurus suteethorni, referred to ?Spinosauridae.  Buffetaut and Suteethorn (1999) noted that in Kobayashi et al. (1964) "the so-called 'ichthyosaur' tooth apparently belongs to the enigmatic dinosaur Siamosaurus."  Buffetaut and Suteethorn (1999) state "isolated teeth of Siamosaurus are frequently found at many vertebrate localities in the Sao Khua Formation, sometimes, as at Wat Sakawan, in association with sauropod remains."  Martin et al. (1999) list a few localities with Siamosaurus teeth.  Samathi et al. (2019) note "in fact, there are very small serrations on unworn teeth (E. Buffetaut pers. comm.; A.S.pers. obs.)", which would remove the reason to assign this to Spinosaurinae.  Suteethorn et al. (2018) note a spinosaurid morph at the Pra Prong locality "with a strongly ornamented crown, bearing up to 25 well-marked ridges on each face, and with a wrinkled enamel between the ridges and at the apex."  Buffetaut is preparing a redescription of the taxon (pers. comm. to Bertin, 2010).

Description- Buffetaut and Suteethorn (1998) say "a form similar to the earlier Siamosaurus seems to be present" in the Khok Kruat Formation. 
Buffetaut et al. (2005) state "at Khok Pa Suam, more unusual teeth showing an uncompressed crown, extremely reduced serrations and conspicuous ribbing have been found. Although they resemble crocodilian teeth, their type of curvature suggests that they belong to theropods.  They are strongly reminiscent of ... Siamosaurus suteethorni ... and tentatively referred to a spinosaurid." 
Wongko et al. (2019) describe a few teeth each from the Khok Pa Suam, Sam Ran and Lam Pao Dam localities out of "almost sixty spinosaurid teeth ... collected by Staffs of the Department of
Mineral Resources during the last decade." 
Buffetaut et al. (2005) also mention a partial skeleton of a spinosaurid from another locality and figure a neural spine intermediate in length between Baryonyx and SpinosaurusSiamosaurus teeth "have been found close to the above-mentioned skeletal elements, but they may be evidence of scavenging rather than anatomical association."
Milner et al. (2017) state "have been found close to the above-mentioned skeletal elements, but they may be evidence of scavenging rather than anatomical association."
Samathi et al. (2019) identify the cervical numbers based on Evers et al.'s revision of spinosaurid presacral vertebrae, and note it differs from Ichthyovenator in that "SM-KK 14 has an anteriorly concave pubis and a posteriorly curved chevron."  They figure the pubis as well.

several teeth (Mo et al., 2014)
Diagnosis- provisionally indeterminate relative to Siamosaurus suteethorni.
Comments- Note the Xinlong Formation used to be called the Napai Formation (Mo et al., 2015). These teeth were discovered in 1973 and originally described by Hou et al. (1975) as a new species of the pliosaur genus Sinopliosaurus. The type of that genus, S. weiyuanensis, preserves only teleosaurid teeth in addition to crocodilian vertebrae and a pliosaurid ischium and femur (the type specimen) (Young, 1948). Buffetaut et al. (2008) later redescribed the S. fusuiensis teeth and discovered they were spinosaurid. In particular, they resemble spinosaurines in a lack of serrations, but baryonychines in the presence of ribbing. They are identical with those of Siamosaurus suteethorni and both differ from Baryonyx in having stronger ribbing. They suggested the teeth belong to a taxon "closely related to, if not identical with Siamosaurus suteethorni", which I have formalized here by placing fusuiensis in Siamosaurus.
Dong (1992) mentioned spinosaurine teeth from the Napai Formation, but whether these refer to the S? fusuiensis material is uncertain. Mo et al. (2014) note spinosaurid teeth in three additional localities.

Comments- According to Churcher (1995), Pause's 1979 thesis reported "a damaged tooth assigned to Spinosaurus aegyptiacus" from "from east of the Darb el-Arbain, at El Atrun, near Maks Bahri, at km 11 south of Baris", but this to too late to be congeneric with the Cenomanian Spinosaurus.
Churcher further noted "
On a visit to the El Atrun exposure in 1993, Dr. Dale A. Russell of the Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa, and I found isolated teeth of two carnivorous dinosaurs, tentatively assigned to Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus..."
Churcher and Russell (1992) stated in the Dakhla (spelled Dakhleh by them) Oasis, "theropod and sauropod teeth and bones were found a few metres below the Duwi Formation."  Churcher's (1999) faunal list matches this with Bee's Friday Site, and says "Subsequently specimens assignable to Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus were obtained", suggesting this was the theropod material mentioned in 1992.
Churcher and de Iluliis (2001) state that at Lungfish Bluff "Identification of Mut Formation shales here is based on the presence of terrestrial dinosaurs (e.g. Spinosaurus)."

Diagnosis- (after Carrano et al., 2012) no midline crest on conjoined premaxillae; premaxilla entirely excluded from borders of external naris; extremely elongate dorsal neural spines.
(after Ibrahim et al., 2014) external naris and narial fossa small and retracted near orbit on side of posterior snout; strongly constricted hourglass-shaped and elongated dorsal centra; greatest anteroposterior dorsal neural spine width below spine apex; dorsal neural spines composed of dense bone with narrow central zone of cancellous bone; proximal one-third of dorsal neural spines textured externally by vertical striae; long bones lack open medullary cavity; length of ilium greater than femur; femur strongly bowed anteriorly with fourth trochanter hypertrophied, extending along ~25% of the femoral shaft; pedal digit I long, digit I-1 phalanx longest nonungual phalanx in pes; pedal unguals broader than deep with length almost four times proximal depth; pedal unguals with flat ventral surface.
Comments- The first Spinosaurus material was discovered in 1898, consisting of teeth described by Haug (1905) as the ichthyodectid fish ?Saurocephalus. Schluter and Schwarzhans (1978) mistakenly referred Spinosaurus teeth to Plesiosaurus sp..
The holotype was discovered in 1912 and described by Stromer (1915). IPHG 1922 X45 was originally described as a second, unnamed, species of Spinosaurus by Stromer (1934). It was distinguished from the S. aegyptiacus holotype in part by its low neural spines and called it Spinosaurus B. Both it and the Spinosaurus B specimen were destroyed in 1944 in a British bombing of Munich, and only fragments were described over most of the century after Stromer's description. Several undescribed specimens held in private collections are of note. One is a chimaerical skull auctioned in 2005 and refused by the NHMUK and MNHN. Another is a partial skeleton reconstructed from isolated bones and auctioned in 2009 without a sale.
Le Loeuff and Metais (2010) note in an abstract "A single dinosaur tooth was also discovered in the course of sedimentological exploration for Total Libya. It is a spinosaurid tooth belonging to a spinosaurine close to Spinosaurus..."  This is from the Chicla Formation of Libya, called the Kiklah Formation in the abstract.
Rauhut (2009) briefly described and figured a tibia (BSPG 2008 I 68) he assigned to Coelurosauria, but the shape is very similar to Spinosaurus.  Zitouni et al. (2019) described ilium MHNM.KK04 as an abelisaurid, but was noted to be tetanurine by Malafaia et al. (2020) and specifically reidentified as Spinosaurus by Smyth et al. (2020).
Spinosaurus marocannus- Russell (1996) described dentary fragments, cervical vertebrae and a dorsal neural arch from the Cenomanian of Morocco as Spinosaurus marocannus. He distinguished this from S. aegyptiacus by the longer mid cervical vertebrae (centrum, not including anterior ball, ~1.5 times height of posterior articular surface). Sereno et al. (1998) rejected its validity because the only character given in the diagnosis to distinguish it from S. aegyptiacus was the longer cervical centra, and they thought this varied within the vertebral column. S. aegyptiacus preserves two cervicals, one of which is probably the third, and the other from the middle of the neck. The latter's centrum has a length to posterior height ratio of 1.05. The two relatively complete cervicals of S. marocannus have ratios of 1.39 and 1.60. Ratios in Baryonyx's holotype range from 1.25-1.81, which is the same amount of variation supposedly separating the Spinosaurus species. Neural spines are comparable in height between Spinosaurus species, and anteroposterior length of the spine varies with centrum elongation as seen in Baryonyx. The latter shows similar differences between cervicals 5 and 6 as seen between S. aegyptiacus and S. marocannus. Russell states besides the elongation noted above and of the neural peduncle (also seen in Baryonyx), the cervicals of the two Spinosaurus species are very similar. The dentaries are also "essentially indistinguishable". Thus, I must agree with Sereno et al. that S. marocannus is a junior synonym of S. aegyptiacus.
Ibrahim et al. 2014- This paper revolutionized our view of Spinosaurus based on the description of a neotype far more complete than any previously published specimen. The neotype was discovered in 2008, and shows Spinosaurus has unusually short hindlimbs and a small pelvis. This and other evidence suggests the taxon was semiaquatic. The presence of a nearly complete specimen allowed the authors to refer other previously known remains to Spinosaurus. This includes the humerus CMN 41852 described by Russell (1996) as theropod bone taxon G and the unguals described by him as theropod bone taxon J. As Russell states the phalanges he calls bone taxon I match the unguals, those are referred to Spinosaurus here too. Russell states this manual material matches an ungual and phalanx (misidentified as a metatarsal) from Algeria referred to Carcharodontosaurus saharicus by Lapparent (1960), so these are also referred to Spinosaurus here. It should be noted that some authors such as Evers et al. (2015) are skeptical the neotype material belongs to one individual or taxon, though a full evaluation must await its detailed description.
Sigilmassasaurus- Russell (1996) suggested Stromer's (1934) Spinosaurus B was referrable to his new genus Sigilmassasaurus. Sereno et al. (1996) later referred the specimen of Spinosaurus B and the material of Sigilmassasaurus to Carcharodontosaurus, based on the supposedly broad cervical vertebra found with the holotype. This was rejected by Novas et al. (2005), who described differences between Sigilmassasaurus cervicals and pedal unguals and those of carcharodontosaurids, so viewed the genus as valid. They also describe the similarity of caudal vertebrae referred to Spinosaurus B and Sigilmassasaurus to Ouranosaurus in their quadrangular shape and elongate posterodorsally projecting neural spines. Canale et al. (2008) proposed these presacral vertebrae belong to iguanodonts, but contra what they write, ornithischians lack pleurocoels and camerate internal structure. Evers et al. (2012) noted Sigilmassasaurus differs from carcharodontosaurids but shares characters with megalosaurs and specifically spinosaurids. McFeeters et al. (2013) were more reserved, placing it in Orionides, though noting shared characters with megalosaurians and some spinosaurids. They referred dorsals except CMN 41858 to Tetanurae indet., and caudals to Dinosauria indet.. Novas et al. (2013) believed similarities between the pedal unguals of Spinosaurus B and Australovenator meant the former might be megaraptoran. The discovery of the nearly complete Spinosaurus neotype by Ibrahim et al. (2014) allowed those authors to solve the mystery of Sigilmassasaurus and Spinosaurus B and synonymize them with Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. They show all of the elements, including pedal unguals and caudals, closely match those of the Spinosaurus neotype. Furthermore, Allain (2014) found the first dorsal vertebra of the possible spinosaurine Ichthyovenator is nearly identical to Sigilmassasaurus, cementing this identification.
D'Anastasio and Capasso (2004) describe pathology in a vertebra they assign to Spinosaurus maroccanus, but which was reassigned to Sigilmassasaurus by McFeeters et al. (2013), and so is now Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. A pedal ungual from the Echkar Formation of Niger referred to Carcharodontosaurus saharicus by Lapparent (1960) matches the Spinosaurus B morphotype, so can now be referred to Spinosaurus. Brusatte and Sereno (2007) describe a cervical centrum from that formation as a paratype of Carcharodontosaurus iguidensis. This centrum resembles Sigilmassasaurus, so can also now be referred to Spinosaurus. A pedal ungual from Alrar referred to Carcharodontosaurus saharicus by Lapparent (1960) matches the Spinosaurus B morphotype, so can now be assigned to Spinosaurus.
Russell suggested CMN 41629 could be from a separate species than the upper Kem Kem taxon, based on differences from the specimens he described as Sigilmassasaurus brevicollis (broader and more flexed cervicodorsal centra; smaller cervicodorsal pleurocoel with inflated centrum wall dorsal to it; more ventrally projected cervicodorsal parapophyses; broader cervicodorsal hypapophysis; less constricted distal caudal centra; smaller distal caudal neural canal). Positional variation is unlikely, as the parapophyses are at the same level as the S. brevicollis holotype. Ontogenetic variation is similarly unlikely, as it is comparable in size with the holotype. Its dark color may indicate it derives from the base of the Kem Kem beds, which may make it Early Cretaceous. He also questionably referred a distal caudal vertebra (CMN 41862) to this species. Russell noted that the Spinosaurus B material was intermediate in cervicodorsal morphology between CMN 41629 and Sigilmassasaurus brevicollis and from a different formation, so believed it to be a potentially intermediate species. Evers et al. (2015) described differences between Sigilmassasaurus and holotypic Spinosaurus vertebrae and between Spinosaurus B and neotypic Spinosaurus limb elements, proposing Sigilmassasaurus (including Spinosaurus B) is a valid taxon. Similarly, Hendrickx (2006) described differences between five Kem Kem spinosaurine quadrates, which was later published as Hendrickx et al. (2016). Notably, the latter were able to compare their quadrates with that of the aegyptiacus neotype, allowing referral of this element to each morphotype. Arden et al. (2019) suggested differences between Kem Kem frontals indicated two taxa, that "FSAC-KK-7115, differs from the smaller specimens [FSAC-KK3209 and 3210] in being proportionately shorter and broader, with more weakly concave orbital margins, more deeply notched postorbital processes, broad overlapping contact of the frontals with the prefrontals, and a taller sagittal crest. The dorsal projection of the orbital margins is more weakly developed as well."  Furthermore, "the bone surface of the small FSAC-KK-3209 is dense and avascular whereas that of the larger FSAC-KK-7115 is highly vascularized", which "indicates that the smaller specimens are more mature than the larger one, which was not yet somatically mature."  They furthermore suggested that "Two different morphotypes of rostrum are present as well. The larger rostrum morph has been referred to Spinosaurus cf. aegyptiacus (dal Sasso et al., 2005 [MSNM V4047]) but given its size, it may instead pertain to Sigilmassasaurus. A second, smaller spinosaurine rostrum morph (Cuff and Rayfield, 2013 [NHMUK R16665]) is characterized by concave dorsal margin of the rostrum and a more bulbous premaxilla and overall more gracile proportions."  Chiarenza and Cau (2016) noted the dentary (NHMUK R16421) described by Milner (2003) differs from the aegyptiacus holotype in "the overall stouter proportion of the bone, in the shape of the alveolar margin, and in the number and placement of the alveoli", which may indicate it belongs to Sigilmassasaurus. While these differences do suggest more than one taxon is represented by Spinosaurus material, the vast majority of specimens could not be assigned to e.g. aegyptiacus vs. brevicollis due to the lack of associated elements, destruction of the aegyptiacus holotype and Spinosaurus B specimen, and lack of description for the aegyptiacus neotype. Given this and the taxonomic uncertainty that would result from the holotype and neotype being potentially different species, all material is here retained as Spinosaurus aegyptiacus pending description of the neotype. Specimens listed above are identified to each morphotype when possible however.
