This illustration shows a newly identified dinosaur enjoying a meal. The dinosaur is called Invictibellatrix amberina. It was introduced in an October 14 study. It was identified from a fossil.
The fossil was found long ago on England’s Isle of Wight. It has been in a museum since 1924. But experts recently took another look. They realized this was no ordinary fossil. It belonged to an unknown species. The dinosaur was a meat eater. It had long claws.
Cassius Morrison is a paleontologist. That’s a fossil expert. He led the study. “It is a real mystery that this fossil was overlooked for so long,” Morrison said in a press release.
