Jeremy Lockwood, who was a retired general practitioner, discovered a new species of dinosaur known as the Wessex Nosed, which is a large nose. The new genus Brighstoneus and its name were named after Keith and Brighstone. Paleontologist James Lockwood has discovered a new type of dinosaur that lived on the Isle of Wight. Knowing that subtle differences in the structure of bones could reveal a new species, Lockwood decided to study them. In 1979, a new dinosaur species, called the heal heron, was discovered. These discoveries suggest that the British dinosaurs were not as limited as previously believed.
