Undated handout photo issued by the Natural History Museum of an artist impression of two Vectipelta barretti dinosaurs. A new species of dinosaur with an armoured body has been discovered on the Isle of Wight for the first time in 142 years. Belonging to a group of plant-eating dinosaurs known as ankylosaur, its remains were found in the island's Wessex Formation - a fossil site dating back to somewhere between 145 to 66 million years ago. Issue date: Friday June 16, 2023. PA Photo. The new species has been named Vectipelta barretti - after Professor Paul Barrett who has worked at the Natural History Museum in London for 20 years. It is the second armoured dinosaur to be found in the island, the first one being Polacanthus foxii - which was unearthed in 1865. See PA story SCIENCE Dinosaur.

*EMBARGOED UNTIL 19.00 BST, WED JUNE 7 (14.00 ET)* New dinosaur discovered named Iani smithi, named Iani smithi after Janus - the two-faced Roman god of change. See SWNS story SWSCdinosaur. A newly discovered dinosaur had a fearsome set of teeth - to chew rubbery plants as he was a vegetarian. The species lived in what is now Utah in the United States during the mid-Cretaceous period, around 99 million years ago. The specimen, named Iani smithi after Janus - the two-faced Roman god of change, was an early ornithopod, a group of mostly bipedal herbivores that also includes famous examples such as Iguanodon and Tenontosaurus. Scientists say that the ornithopods ultimately gave rise to the more commonly known duckbill dinosaurs such as Parasaurolophus and Edmontosaurus.

Giant gorgonopsian Inostrancevia with its dicynodont prey, scaring off the much smaller African species Cyonosaurus. See SWNS story SWSCpredator *EMBARGOED UNTIL 16.00 BST, MON MAY 22 (11.00 ET)* A fearsome sabre-toothed beast the size of a tiger with skin like a rhino was "top predator" in what is now South Africa before going extinct 250 million years ago. The creature called Inostrancevia had trekked 7,000 miles to take control of the territory, reveals new research. Fossils show a scramble for dominance leading up to ?the Great Dying? 252 million years ago when Earth experienced a devastating mass extinction, say scientists. Massive volcanic eruptions triggered catastrophic climate change, killing off nine out of every 10 species and eventually setting the stage for the dinosaurs.

EMBARGOED TO 1800 THURSDAY MARCH 30 Undated handout illustration issued by the University of Portsmouth of a juvenile Edmontosaurus disappearing into the enormous, lipped mouth of a Tyrannosaurus. Dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus Rex have been wrongly shown in films such as Jurassic Park to have "ferocious-looking" exposed teeth, according to new research. Scientists have instead found that many predatory species would have had scaly, lizard-like lips covering and sealing their mouths. Issue date: Thursday March 30, 2023. PA Photo.
