[QUOTE]A new dinosaur cousin of Tyrannosaurus rex has been found in Wales, the first meat-eating dinosaur ever found in the country.
The fossilised skeleton of a theropod dinosaur, including razor sharp teeth, and claws, was discovered on a beach near Penarth in the Vale of Glamorgan. It was analysed by experts from The University of Manchester, University of Portsmouth and the National Museum Wales. This new dinosaur was a distant cousin of Tyrannosaurus rex and lived at the very earliest part of the Jurassic Period, 201 million years ago, possibly making it the oldest Jurassic dinosaur in the world.[/QUOTE]

This dinosaur is cute. That must be so cool walking along a beach hunting for fossils.
With the promise of dragons on the Welsh flag, this feels disappointing.

No photos of the fossil?
Aah I remember seeing this on the news yesterday.
The guys who found it wanted to call it the Robandnickasaurus.
Thankfully it was rejected. :v:
