binomial_authority = Huene, 1923"Altispinax" (pronEng|ˌæltɨˈspaɪnəks; "high spine") was a
genus ofspinosaurid dinosaur which lived during the earlyCretaceous ofEurope .The
type species , "Altispinax dunkeri" (Dames, 1884 and von Huene, 1923), is known only from teeth. Other described species have since been moved to other genera, including "Baryonyx ". Vertebrae initially linked with the teeth are now known to be from thecarnosaur "Becklespinax ". Thus "Altispinax" is now usually considered a "nomen dubium ".External links
