A massive haul of prehistoric remains has been discovered in the cliffs on the Isle of Wight in the UK. Over 48 species were found in what is now being referred to as Britain's own Jurassic Park.
Some 48 new prehistoric species have been unearthed by a British expert from Britain's own Jurassic Park, including dinosaurs similar to the deadly velociraptor and giant flying pterosaurs. Palaeontologists have long flocked to this country which is thought to be one of the top five in the world for concentrations of dinosaurs remains. The high number is thought to be as a result of Britain's position as a land bridge between various continents more than 130 million years ago. "
