A new species of dinosaur related to the Tyrannosaurus rex has been discovered in England.
Paleontologists at the University of Southampton have spent months studying four bones that were found last year in the village of Shanklin, on the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England. They finally determined that the bones were from the neck, back and tail of a new dinosaur"previously unknown to science," according to a release from the university.
"The record of theropod dinosaurs from the mid Cretaceous period in Europe isn't that great, so it's been really exciting to be able to increase our understanding of the diversity of dinosaur species from this time."The four bones were found over several weeks last year by three different groups.
