Angloposeidon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Angloposeidon" is the informal name given to a dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of southern England. It was a possible brachiosaurid, but has not been formally named (and Darren Naish, who has worked with the specimen, has requested that this name only be used informally and that it not be published). The remains consist of a single cervical vertebra (MIWG.7306), which indicate it was a very large animal. The fossil was found on the Isle of Wight.
