Introducing neovenator (again)
As we think of a British theropod we think of Megalosaurus, Baryonyx, Metriacanthosaurus, etc but Neovenator is also the one here. Neovenator is the largest theropod just behind of Baryonyx in the Wessex Formation in Isle of Wight and Gironde in France it is the apex predator in the formation and can try bring down the big game like young Angloposeidon, Oplosaurus and Iguanodon, and the medium game like Polacanthus smaller sauropods, and even small game like Hypsilophodon.
Neovenator features
Neovenator has long arms and claws to catch prey like what Allosaurs and Megaraptorian would do, or neovenator can swing to get any hypsilophodons to eat pretty much a snack. The face has holes on them but what are they? People suggest these complex neurovascular canals worked like a sensitive face fir pressure, temperature, controling jaw pressure, and avoiding bitting the bone while eating it's prey, or even used for nurturing their young like a crocodilian would do, Tyrannosaurs and Spinosaurs have sensitive faces too making Neovenator unquiet.
Neovenator size
Neovenator is said to be 7.6 meters long and be 10 meters long which is dubious (25-33 feet), a highet of 2 meters tall (6 feet) and the weight of 1 to 2 tonnes (2204-4409 lbs), which is a decent size for predator like Neovenator.
Neovenator history
Discovered in the year 1978 in Summer when a storm in the South West Coast in Isle of Wight Grange Chine collapsed with not one but two speices Mantellisaurus Atherfieldensis and Neovenator Salerii fell of at Brighstone Bay. The fossils consisted of a plant debris bed of the Wessex Formation dating the Berremian stage of Lower Cretaceous about 125 million years ago. They were collected by the Henwood family and a geology student David Richards sent the fossils in the Mueseum of Isle of Wight Geology and the British Mueseum of Natural History. In the 1990s It was thought to be a new species of Megalosaurus which is false because Megalosaurus was around 166 Million Years Ago, in 1996 Steve Hutt, David Martill, and Michael Barker named the theropod as "Neovenator Salerii" meaning "Salero's New Hunter" in Latin.
In Media
Neovenator has been in some media like the Anime Dinosaur King, the BBC documentary Dinosaur Britain for a cameo hunter a Mantellisaurus.
This is the Wessex Formation Series next up Eotyrannus remake.
