Comptonatus was named in 2024, making it one of the newest dinosaur species.6

Its name means 'the Compton thunderer' because it was found at Compton Bay and was a large animal.1

The skeleton was discovered in 2013 by fossil collector Nick Chase, and it took over a decade to study and name.1

Comptonatus had a straight lower jaw bone (dentary) and a very wide prepubic blade, which are unique features.1

It lived alongside other dinosaurs like Mantellisaurus, Brighstoneus, and Iguanodon in the same area.1

The fossils were found in a plant debris bed that also contained fish scales, crocodile teeth, and conifer trunks.1
