O nou tip dinozaur, descoperit pe baza unei fosile vechi de 100 de ani. Megaraptoran, rudă cu Tyrannosaurus • Newsweek România

A new dinosaur species, Invictibellatrix amberina, has been identified from a fossil over 100 years old, discovered on the Isle of Wight. This megaraptor, a relative of Tyrannosaurus, lived in early Cretaceous Europe around 120 million years ago. The fossil, part of a skull acquired by the Natural History Museum in 1924, reveals a predator about the size of a large tiger, with long claws. Researchers suggest it may have been more dangerous to humans than a T. rex, as it would have hunted smaller prey. The discovery highlights the potential for more fossils to be found on the Isle of Wight, which is rich in dinosaur remains.
