Interesting, Jaime.

About _Iguanodon_ in Bernissart site...

--- I. anglicus = I. mantellii (The Dinosauricon)
--- I. atherfieldensis seems to be a more gracile variety of I.
bernissartensis.
--- In Belgium, TMK note I. bernissartensis and I. atherfieldensis, and not
I. anglicus.

In the same Wealden site, we got together _I. bernissartensis_ (most of the
remains) and _I. "mantellii"_ (one skeleton I think).
- this is from an "old" belgian book in french about the study of the site
 I've forgotten the title).

I'd like clarification about _I. "mantellii"_ in the Wealden of Bernissart.

Many thanks in advance to everyone,
