New tiger-sized dinosaur found in a museum drawer, 100 years after Isle of Wight discovery
Graphic: BriefTea
The skull fragment sat unnoticed at London's Natural History Museum for nearly a century after it arrived in 1924. Researchers at University College London scanned it and found Invictibellatrix amberina, a feathered predator that lived about 120 million years ago and ate small dinosaurs, lizards and mammals. It's the first megaraptoran, a group of long-clawed meat-eaters, ever found in Europe.
