Interesting how different the cervicals are from each others, an adaptation toward stork-ish rapid shooting of the head into the water, pulling up heavy fish?
I am reminded also of the British Museum/Invicta Plastics Baryonyx model (I'm not sure if you are familiar with the models, they were produced from the 1970s to the 1990s and were always impressively accurate for their respective decades) - it is quadrupedal, something I never quite believed, then or now, but would that big claw really be for fishing? Maybe it was merely ritualistic, with the head really doing the hunting - or maybe it did fall down to quadrupedal pose when intending to fish?
