Abstract in brief

  • A large spinosaurid dinosaur was discovered in the Vectis Formation on the Isle of Wight, consisting of various postcranial remains that are believed to belong to one enormous individual, potentially larger than previously known theropods in Europe.
  • The presence of distinctive features suggests its classification within the Spinosauridae family, though a definitive new species identification isn't possible due to insufficient unique traits.
  • This find is significant as it's the first spinosaurid identified in the Vectis Formation, adding to the understanding of dinosaur diversity in the region and highlighting western Europe’s importance in the evolution of spinosaurids during the Early Cretaceous.

New Dino Dropped! Open-Access Paper: https://t.co/uo8YiCQ9X2 Honestly I am also excited about the (possibly desmestid) beetle borings on the bones, too. I kind of want to make a plush Wealden beetle. Beetles are neat. https://t.co/ibAAMLMELx
