2021 was a really exciting year for dinosaur discovery on the Isle of Wight, with the publication of descriptions of four new taxa known only from the Island.
Ceratosuchops inferodios the Hell Heron, Riparovenator milnerae the riverside hunter, Brighstoneus simmondsi the first new well characterised iguanodontian on the Isle of Wight for a century and a small but ferocious theropod Vectiraptor greeni.
Their unique remains have all been accessioned at Dinosaur Isle Museum adding to its internationally important collection.
