The Australian Spinosaurid is an unnamed genus belonging to the Spinosauridae family that was discovered in the Early Cretaceous Eumeralla Formation, Australia.[2] It is known from a single 4cm long partial cervical vertebra, designated P221081. It is missing most of the neural arch. The specimen is from a juvenile estimated to be about 2 to 3 meters long (6-9ft). Out of all spinosaurs it most closely resembles Baryonyx [3]
