	Velociraptor teeth discovered on the Isle of Wight
		Curator of Dinosaur Isle, Martin Munt said, “The large size of the Isle of Wight teeth suggests an animal that may have been comparable in size to Utahraptor an extremely large dromaeosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Utah.
		These teeth are an important find for Dinosaur Isle and also for palaeontology, as each new find brings us a clearer picture of the Cretaceous period in this region.” Visitors to Dinosaur Isle Museum over the autumn half term holiday will have the opportunity to see these exciting new discoveries.
		Three of the teeth were collected on the Island between 1972 and 2003 by Steve Sweetman and have been donated to the museum, the remaining two have been purchased by the Dinosaur Isle Museum.

	Dinosaur [Definition]
		Large dinosaurs would presumably have faced the same situation: their size would dictate that they lost heat relatively slowly to the surrounding air, and so could have been what are called bulk endotherms, animals that are warmer than their environments through sheer size rather than any special adaptations like those of birds and mammals.
		Dinosaurs are animals that dominated the terrestrial ecosystemIn ecology, an ecosystem is a community of organisms (plant, animal and other living organisms - also referred as biocenose) living together with their environment (or biotope), functioning as a unit....

		Large dinosaurs would presumably have faced the same situation: their size would dictate that they lost heat relatively slowly to the surrounding air, and so could have been what are called bulk endotherms, animals that are warmer than their environments through sheer size rather than any special adaptations like those of birds and mammals.
		Dinosaur fossils have been known about for millennia, though their true nature was not recognised; the Chinese considered them to be dragon bones, while Europeans believed them to be the remains of giants and other creatures killed by the Great Flood.
		However, new evidence of dinosaurs in chilly temperate climates and scientific analysis of the blood-vessel structures within dinosaur bone, have opened the possibility that some dinosaurs were endothermic, regulating their body temperature by internal biological methods.

		Dubbed Mei long, which means "soundly sleeping dragon" in Chinese, the dinosaur was about 53 centimetres long or about the size of a large bird.

		Unlike other dinosaurs found with their neck extended back in a classic death pose, Mei long seemed to be sleeping contentedly when it died.

		Individual dinosaur coprolites actually can be quite small (under 10 cm length) compared to the body size of the creatures.
		The coprolite at the right is probably from a sauropod, because of its large size (40 cm diameter), and age (Jurassic); a coprolite this large probably does not represent one single pellet but a conglomeration of several pellets that merged.
		Coprolites made by carnivorous dinosaurs were more likely to be preserved than those made by herbivores because of the high mineral content in the bones of the consumed prey animals.
