Sussex fossil collector finds 'smallest' dinosaur


QuoteThe fossil of what is thought to be one of the world's smallest dinosaurs has been found at a brickworks in Sussex.

Experts from the University of Portsmouth identified the creature after a local fossil collector found it at the Ashdown Brickworks near Bexhill.

Palaeontologist Dr Steve Sweetman said: "It represents the smallest dinosaur we have yet discovered in the European fossil record."

The bird-shaped fossil is between 13in (33cm) and 16in (40cm) in length...

What a fascinating little creature.
