Hi, I just saw this vertebra online and decided to buy it, as I have wanted an Isle of Wight fossil for a very long time now. The vertebra was listed as an Iguanodon tail vertebra and it was found in The Wealden Clays, Wessex Formation, The Wealden Group, Chilton Chine, Isle of Wight, UK (130 million years old, Cretaceous) Overall Size = 5.1 cm (2 inches) long by 5.1 cm (2 inches) wide by 8.2 cm (3.25 inches) high. I know there are a few very knowledgeable people on this forum when it comes to ID'ing dinosaur bones, so my question is: is the ID correct on this bone? Is it truly Iguanodontid (Mantellisaurus or Iguanodon) or is it from another of the many dinosaurs that can be found on the Isle of Wight? Or should I just label it as Dinosaur vertebra? Thank you in advance!

Evening folks. Here’s a chunk of I’m sure is M. Atherfieldensis found at err Atherfield on The Isle of Wight during my trip there last week. I’m thinking bottom end of fibula but not sure. @Troodon @jpc @LordTrilobite

An Iguanodont dinosaur called Mantellisaurus found in The Isle of Wight looks like is getting reassembled and may have a new home. Check out the video in the article http://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-england-hampshire-38666085/isle-of-wight-fossilised-dinosaur-skeleton-assembled
