FfFfFfFF 58,135 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 A new species of dinosaur with an extremely large nose has been identified by a retired GP who spent lockdown rummaging through boxes of ancient bones. Jeremy Lockwood set himself the task of cataloguing every iguanodon bone discovered on the Isle of Wight. As he sorted the bones from the collections of the Natural History Museum in London and the Dinosaur Isle museum on the Isle of Wight, he discovered a specimen with a unique “bulbous” nasal bone. “The number of teeth was a sign,” Lockwood said. “Mantellisaurus atherfieldensis has 23 or 24, but this has 28. It also had a bulbous nose, whereas the other species have very straight noses. Altogether, these and other small differences made it very obviously a new species.” He added: “This discovery made it one of the happiest days of lockdown.” The herbivorous dinosaur was about eight metres in length and weighed about 900kg.
