Isle of Wight fossil identifies Europe’s first known megaraptoran

Phys.org reports that a UCL-led team identified Invictibellatrix amberina from a skull fragment collected on the Isle of Wight and held in a museum since 1924. The study places it among long-clawed megaraptorans about 120 million years ago. Size and behavior are inferred from related dinosaurs; the new fossil helps test their proposed migration through Europe.
