I've recently recovered a dinosaur vertebra
(dorsal) from the Wealden beds in southern England. I need help identifying
the genus. The neural spine of this specimen is very distinctive, it has a
spearhead shape to it. I don't think it's Iguanodon, fossils of that
genus are a fairly common find from the Wealden. I'm not sure, but i think
it could be theropoda. It's also sustained quite a lot of damage, there are
some large bite marks. It seems that the animal that caused this damge
and made those marks must have had huge bone crushing jaws. This could
either be from combat or just scavenging, any comments on this are
welcome!
Images of the find can be found by clicking onto

Thanks in advance.
