The Fish Eaters of the Isle of Wight

Ernst Stromer discovered the first remains of Spinosaurus in North Africa, but only recently have we learned how diverse the spinosaur group is, through finds on an island in the English Channel: the Isle of Wight. In 2010, a paleontological field trip from the University of Bonn under Professor Sander took me there for the first time. I immediately fell in love with the island because of its beauty and stunning dinosaur fossils. You can only reach it by ferry from Portsmouth or Lymington, which dock in the north of the island. However, dinosaurs and their footprints are found on the Isle of Wight only in the southwest and southeast. The rocks in which their fossils are found belong to the so-called Wealden Group; they date from the Lower Cretaceous and are about 125 to 140 million years old.
