Old Museum Bone Reveals a New Dinosaur

Scientists studied an old bone in a London museum. It belonged to a dinosaur that scientists did not know about before.

An old bone has revealed a new kind of dinosaur. Its name is Invictibellatrix amberina. The bone is part of its head. It came from the Isle of Wight. London's Natural History Museum got it in 1924.

Scientists took special pictures to look inside the bone. They compared it with other dinosaur bones. It is the first dinosaur from its group found in Europe. It lived about 120 million years ago.

Scientists think it was about 10 to 13 feet long and about five feet tall. It had large, curved claws. It may also have had feathers. It ate meat, including small dinosaurs, lizards, and other animals. Its group was closely related to the group that included T. rex.
