The fossil of a new species of plant-eating dinosaur has been discovered on the Isle of Wight, suggesting Europe had its own family of small herbivorous dinosaurs distinct from Asia and North America.

It is the second member of the hypsilophodont family to be found on the island off the south coast of England.
