Bunch of English Dinosaurs
England has a rich history of important dinosaur discoveries, and one county in particular, Oxfordshire, is where some of these earliest discoveries were made.

I think it would be epic if the first dinosaur that was discovered was named "human nutsack". It really reflects on the immaturity of our own species.

I remember that I used to think that in England there were only Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, Baryonix,hypsilophodon and Polacanthus since those were the only ones that I would always run in too. But o boy was I wrong not only did England have more dinosaurs it was thriving with them as well as marine reptails, pterasaurs and a number of other little creatures that lived with them.

England was the place where the name "Dinosauria" was created Megalosaurus: *In a brittish accent* Ah yes thats where my, pice of my leg bone was found and those stupid scientist's thought it was a ballsack.......*drinks tea*
And now for specifically England's dinosaur anthem: And did those feet in ancient time, Walk upon England's mountains green? And was there herds of dinosaurs On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the struggle of life and death, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And did long gone majesty roam here Where now be dark satanic mills? Bring me my claws of burning gold! Bring me my senses of desire! Bring me my jaws, oh clouds unfold! Bring me my musculature of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my chisel sleep in my hand Til we have found all the beasts Of England's green and pleasant past!

That Megalosaurus artwork at 4:14 is gorgeous. When I think of Megalosaurus as being English, I suddenly envision one politely apologizing to a Cetiosaurus before tearing into it. The Cetiosaurus in turn responds with a, "Oh, no hard feelings, old chap," as it fights to defend itself.

Supposedly a Lexivosaurus was discovered near Hook Norton which changed how people believed the Stegosauri evolved - Originally believing they came from what is now modern Asia, the Lexivosaurus fossil was millions of years older and so suggested Stegosauri evolved from what is now Britain I may be mis-remembering something but that's what I was told

Right unlike most of western or central Europe the UK is actually part of a continental fragment formed from Neoprotozoic volcanic arcs which got split between Eurasia and North America(Laurentia) which means you actually got continental fauna during the Mesozoic. Also its kind of coincidental that the UK and New England (along with Newfoundland and a few scattered bits through Europe) are both part of the same ancient landmass
