<<The name _Duriavenator_ apparently means "Dorset hunter", Duria being an 
old name for Dorset.  (I don't know who actually first used the place-name 
'Duria', though I assume it's Romano-British in origin.)>>

Well, me dear, bein' an' ancient Dorset fossil meself, I do as remember them 
there Durotriges was a Celtic people, what did as live in Dorset when them 
there Romans turned up.  They did as 'ave a place called Durnovaria, what 
the Romans poshed up to Dorchester.
