Courtesy of Manchester University ... new species of Theropod dinosaur found - fossil discovered on a beach beside Penarth in Wales.
The scientific paper naming the new species is currently in press.
EDIT: It's also apparently the first Jurassic fossil found in Wales, and another milestone is that the fossil was found in the earliest Jurassic strata, right on the border with the Triassic, making this one of the earliest known Theropod dinosaurs to be found.

Has it been assigned a name yet? I couldn't see one mentioned.

Paper is in press as I stated. We'll have to wait for publication thereof.

I just want to know how a whale swallowed a dinosaur. Was Jonah riding it?

Guys, maybe show a little respect? This is about a dinosaur who died.
When the straight and narrow gets a little too straight, roll up the joint.
Or don't. Just follow your arrow wherever it points.
