Story summary

A new species of dinosaur, Invictibellatrix amberina, has been discovered on the Isle of Wight after being overlooked for over a century. The fossil was initially collected by the Natural History Museum in London in 1924 and rediscovered recently. This long-clawed predator, about the size of a large tiger, lived in the UK during the early Cretaceous period around 120 million years ago. It is the first megaraptoran dinosaur found in Europe, a group closely related to tyrannosaurs like T. rex. Dr. Cassius Morrison from University College London, who led the research published in *Royal Society Open Science*, noted that while not an apex predator of its time, Invictibellatrix amberina would have been more dangerous to humans than a T. rex due to its optimal size for hunting human-sized prey.
