Isle of Wight dinosaur


Notidanodon

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I was wondering if it was possible to identify which species this vertebra belonged to! It’s from yaverland (Wessex fm)

I can't tell to which species it belongs to but I have a small Iguanodon bone fragment from the Isle of Wight, probably found in the same formation. I bought it online so I haven't visited this fossil site.

Yeah iguanodon is the most common one to be found around there, I was just wondering if anyone knew if this had any diagnostic features :)

Nah, Frank's unfortunately left the forum. However, @Haravex is very knowledgeable on IoW-material. So hopefully he can shed some light on this. Otherwise, there's still @fossils-uk and possibly @FF7_Yuffie has some insights.

that's a big loss for sure! I shouldn't speculate but do you know why? thanks for the tags!

I second that. Don't want to derail this topic, but I find it strange no explanation was ever given for Troodon's very sudden departure. He was a very important and valued member of this forum with a wealth of knowledge and information and was active on this forum on an almost daily basis. He never gave us a reason why he left and never said goodbye, he was just poof gone... 

 

Of course he doesn't owe us an explanation and if it's because of personal reasons he doesn't want to disclose I respect that, but I just can't help I keep on wondering about it and I hope he's doing well. Again, sorry for going off topic.
