Brighstoneus was a big, plant-eating dinosaur that lived on the Isle of Wight in England about 125 million years ago. It had a strange, bulbous nose that made it look different from its relatives. Scientists think it used its big nose to show off to other dinosaurs or to scare away rivals.12

Prettige feite

1

Brighstoneus had a bulbous bump on its nose, called a nasal bulla, which made its snout look S-shaped from the side.1

2

Its fossils were found mixed up with the bones of a meat-eating dinosaur called Neovenator after a storm in 1978.1

3

The dinosaur was named by a retired doctor, Jeremy Lockwood, who spent years studying old bones in museum collections.2

4

Brighstoneus lived in a floodplain environment that had rivers, lakes, and frequent wildfires.1

5

Its teeth were different from other similar dinosaurs because they had ridges on both sides.2

6

The name Brighstoneus honors the village of Brighstone, where a famous Victorian fossil collector named Reverend William Fox once lived.1

Ontdekking
Brighstoneus was discovered in 1978 after a storm on the Isle of Wight, but it was not named until 2021. Jeremy Lockwood, a retired doctor and PhD student, studied the bones and realized they belonged to a new species.12
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are not sure exactly what the bulbous nose was used for. It might have been for attracting mates or for fighting rivals.2
