DINOSAUR ISLAND...

The Isle of Wight, although just a small island, is well known as "Dinosaur Island", being the best place in the UK to find Dinosaurs, and home to some new species.
It is often shown on TV in a number of documentaries.
Apart from Dinosaurs, the Isle of Wight has a remarkable diversity spanning the whole of the Cretaceous period. At some locations such as Alum Bay and Whitecliff Bay, you can see the changes though time in these beds in vertical strata. There are younger Oligocene deposits in the north that yields mammal & crocodile remains.
