A new dinosaur discovered was a 'huge' 32-foot-long predator with a crocodile face, say scientists

Dinosaur remains found off the south coast of England are thought to be the largest land predator in Europe.

The bones were identified as belonging to a type of two-legged crocodile-faced predatory dinosaur.

Around 125 million years ago, the carnivore was more than 32 feet long.

Chris Barker, who led the study, said it was a huge animal.

It appears to be one of the largest predatory dinosaurs ever found in Europe, according to Barker.

It's a pity it's only known from a small amount of material, but these are enough to show it was an enormous creature.

The bones were found on the island.

Dinosaur island is a rich repository of dinosaur remains. More than 100 million years ago, the soft clays and sandstones that are present today reveal the secrets of life on planet earth.

The geological layer in which it was found has been dubbed the white rock spinosaurid. It hasn't been given a scientific name yet, according to researchers.

Scientists said that the dinosaur would have prowled lagoonal waters and sandflats in search of food.

The skulls of spinosaurid's allowed them to hunt in both land and water.

The team hopes to use the scans to learn more about the animal's age and growth rate.

The fossils were found by one of Britain's most skilled dinosaur hunters, Nick Chase, who sadly died before the COVID epidemic.

I was searching for the remains of this dinosaur with Nick when he found a lump of the pelvis with tunnels bored into it. They may have been caused by a type of beetle that eats bones.

A study on the discovery of two new species of spinosaurid was published last year.

"This new animal supports our argument that spinosaurid dinosaurs originated and diversified in western Europe before becoming more widespread," he said.
