In November 2008, the four years old Daisy Morris of Whitwell, Isle of Wight, an avid natural history collector, discovered some small bones in a rock below the cliff face of Atherfield Point at the southwest coast of Wight. Her parents carefully collected all additional rocks with fossils in them that they could find at the site.[1] In April 2009, Daisy's discovery was authenticated by palaeontologist Martin Simpson, from the University of Southampton. Daisy's parents donated the specimen to the Natural History Museum.
