Neovenator salerii Hutt, Martill and Barker, 1996

Age . Barremian.

Occurrence. Wessex Formation, Isle of Wight, England.

Diagnosis. Nares trapezoidal and very large; pila interfenestralis very thin, rod-like; pedal unguals with longitudinal groove on the dorsal surface.

Remarks. Neovenator is the only theropod from the famous English Wealden deposits of the Isle of Wight that is represented by good skeletal material, but unfortunately, only a preliminary description of its anatomy has been published so far ( Hutt et al. 1996), although some new illustrations have been published very recently (Naish et al. 2001).
