New Bird-Like Dinosaur Species Unearthed on Isle of Wight


Dec 21, 2021

A new genus and species of dromaeosaurid dinosaur has been discovered by a team of paleontologists from the University of Bath and the University of Portsmouth.

The newly-identified dinosaur species roamed our planet during the Early Cretaceous epoch, between 130 and 125 million years ago.

Named Vectiraptor greeni, the ancient creature measured about 2.5-3 m (8.2-9.8 feet) long.

It was a member of Dromaeosauridae, a very large family of feathered predatory dinosaurs.
