The scientific world considers two versions of the extinction of the dinosaurs: a volcanic eruption and a collision of our planet with an asteroid.

In the English Channel on the Isle of Wight, England, scientists have found the fossilized remains of a previously unknown species of armored dinosaur. On Friday, June 16, the BBC wrote.

This is not the first discovery on the island. In 1865, the remains of dinosaurs were found here.

“Currently, the found species belongs to the ankylosaur family. The age of the soil layer where the fossils were found is from 66 to 145 million years. During this period, the reptile found by the team of scientists lived,” said of the report. .

Scientists named the found species of ankylosaur – Vectipelta barretti.

According to experts, it is big and scary, with a shell and sharp spikes.

“All this protection was used against predators, because Vectipelta barretti feeds exclusively on plants,” the scientists said.

Scientists hope that the find will expand the understanding of the types of dinosaurs that lived in the territory of modern England, as well as provide an understanding of the reasons why they died.

Earlier it was reported that in Switzerland for the first time an auction will be held, which will sell the skeleton of a giant Tyrannosaurus Rex.
