Further Reading and References

Further Reading and References

This are a limited list of books that are especially for people interested in the Isle of Wight geologically and palaeontologically. There are also many scientific papers available, the information from which has been used heavily in these books and on DinoWight, but a select list of these can be found on the DinoWight reference page. Many of these are available from university libraries, and from certain larger libraries, but some are available on-line.

English Wealden fossils

English Wealden Fossils, a hefty volume covering everything found in the Wealden group of England, including the Isle of Wight.

This is very hard to get hold of at the moment, so good luck getting a copy, although some sections are available via ResearchGate (not the dinosaur bits, though.)

The only place I’ve been able to find it for less than £900 (!) is the Dinosaur Isle shop, so drop them an e-mail and order it from there!

Dinosaurs of the Isle of Wight, by David M. Martill and Darren Naish. This book is published by the Palaeontological Association, and contains information on every single dinosaur and pterosaur ever found on the island up to 2001.

This has a lot of information, and even has a guide for fossil walk, but has become a bit pricey these days…

Dinosaurs of the British Isles is a definitive guide to, well, the dinosaurs of the British Isles!

It’s also heavily illustrated, so if you’re after images of dinosaur bones for identification purposes, this is the book for you!

This book features walking guides to see the geology, but does not focus much on the dinosaurs found at each locality. It is also a bit out of date and apocryphal, as it suggests using Cowleaze Chine for access to the beach, although last time I tried this it was 10 metres from Cowleaze Chine to the beach; straight down.
This book is more for the geologists among you.

An amusing, illustrated, dramatised account for children which tells the real life story of the discovery of Vectidraco. The title is taken from the translation of the Latin name of the new pterosaur Vectidraco daisymorrisae.
