Fossil of Europe’s largest predatory dinosaur discovered in England

The largest dinosaur fossil ever listed in Europe was recently discovered on the White Island in the UK. Spinozaurite bone includes hip and cadaver vertebrae and was found in the southeastern part of the island off the south coast of England: a study documenting details of an animal that lived 10 meters long and lived about 125 million years ago. , Published in the June 9 issue of the journal Science Co-living environment.

The dinosaur is a bipedal predatory species that had a modern-day crocodile-like head and was called the “White Rock Spinosaurid” because of the geological layer it discovered – and it also determined its possible age. The discovery took place in a geological system known as the “Vectis Formation”, in which the extracts were formed almost 125 million years ago.

In addition to the long vertebral tail, a large pelvis was also found, which has tunnel-shaped holes the size of an index finger. For Jeremy Lockwood, an archaeologist and author of a doctoral dissertation at the University of Portsmouth and the Museum of Natural History in the UK, these holes are indicators that the body of the animal may have been attacked by bone-eating larvae. Scavenger beetle type. “It’s interesting to think that this giant killer ended up being food for a few insects,” he said.
