Period:Lower Cretaceous
Meaning:

Named after the village of Brighstone on the Isle of Wight

Fun Facts:
  • Fossils discovered in 1978 thought to represent an Iguanodon were re-examined and the Brighstoneus genus erected in 2021. This dinosaur had a prominent, bulbous snout. The patterning on the model would have helped to break up this herbivore's outline and camouflage it as Brighstoneus moved through the dimly lit understorey of the forest.
