Angloposeidon


"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. Darren Naish, a notable vertebrate palaeontologist, has worked with the specimen and has recommended that this name only be used informally and that it not be published. However, he published it himself in his book Tetrapod Zoology Book One from 2010. 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 in the Wessex Formation.
