Albian

The Albian is both an age of the geologic timescale and a stage in the stratigraphic column.

Barilium is a genus of iguanodontian dinosaur which was first described as a species of Iguanodon (I. dawsoni) by Richard Lydekker in 1888, the specific epithet honouring the discoverer Charles Dawson, who collected the holotype during the 1880s. Theiophytalia and Barilium are iguanodonts and ornithischian genera.
