The discovery of a new dinosaur -
Vectaerovenator Inopinatus.
Scientists at the University of Southampton believe bones found on the Isle of Wight belong to new a species of dinosaur related to the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Four bones were discovered by three different groups of people at Shanklin last year, who all handed in their finds to the nearby Dinosaur Isle Museum at Sandown.
The dinosaur has been named Vectaerovenator Inopinatus and is part of the theropod group that includes Tyrannosaurus rex and modern-day birds.
Replicate 3D were delighted to be asked by the University of Southampton and Dinosaur Isle to 3D scan the bones.
In the clips below the 3D images we created are shown.
We were then tasked to create a 3D print of the bones which will be gifted to the finders of the bones in thank you for sharing their discovery.
