A scary-looking dinosaur measuring 29ft is one of two species discovered not long ago that wandered all over what is presently called the Isle of Wight 125 million years ago. The pair were recognized as new dinosaur species which palaeontologists from the University of Southampton didn't describe earlier on.

Giant Marine Lizards
The high diversity of the fauna reveals how mosasaurs, giant marine lizards related to Komodo dragons and snakes, flourished in the last million years of the Cretaceous period before they were wiped out with most of all species on Earth, by the giant asteroid impact 66 million years ago.
The new species, called

These stones were conveyed over 600 miles in the belly of a dinosaur. A new study discovered that during the Mesozoic Era, dinosaurs with long necks migrated hundreds of miles across what is now called the American Midwest. How do scientists know that these huge beasts migrated?

The Pink Stones
The dinosaurs swallowed pink stones in what is now Wisconsin, walked westward over 1,000 kilometers (600 miles), and then passed away in the region that s now called Wyoming, abandoning the stones in a new location.
Josh Malone, a lead researcher on the study, also a graduate student in the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin, told Live Science: We believe that these stones were conveyed from southern Wisconsin to north-central Wyoming in the dinosaur s belly.

Researchers have discovered in Argentina s Patagonian skeletal remains of what may be a member of the oldest-known dinosaur group known as titanosaurs that includes the largest land animals in the history of Earth.
The incomplete skeletal remains of the dinosaur were found south of the city of Neuquen. Scientists said the discovery of skeletons, symbolizing a species of dinosaur named Ninja Titan Zapata, reveals that it first appeared longer ago than they initially thought.
Scientists said on Monday, The skeletons symbolize a dinosaur species named Ninja Titan Zapata that existed during the Cretaceous period, 140 million years ago. Researchers know Ninja titan as a group of long-necked plant-eating dinosaurs that walked on four pillar-like legs (titanosaurs).
