The fossilised remains of a previously unknown type of dinosaur have been found on the Isle of Wight off the southern coast of England. The rather terrifying-looking giant reptile with blade-like armour - known as vectipelta barretti - was in fact a plant-eater. Stuart Pond led the study on the ankylosaur for the UK's Natural History Museum, and he told Newshour's Tim Franks more about the discovery. (Photo shows a CGI rendering of the dinosaur.
