“…These were mentioned in a general work on the island (Englefield, )’. Compare this fiction with Delair & Sarjeant (: 192) who instead reported how ‘in a general work on the antiquities and attractions of the Isle of Wight, Sir Henry Englefield noted that the geologist Thomas Webster had [instead] discovered many large fossil bones in the cliffs near Hastings, Sussex’. Here is again more confusion, now with Webster's later report (Webster, ) of such an occurrence, well away from the Isle of Wight.…”

“…A look at back issues of Proceedings of the Geologists' Association , Journal of the Geological Society or Palaeontology demonstrates this point. Even now, a 2002 paper in Proceedings of the Geologists' Association by Delair and Sarjeant (see Suggestions for further reading) reminds us of the role that quarries such as those at Stonesfield, Oxfordshire, played in the earliest thinking on dinosaurs. In Journal of the Geological Society , Compston, Wright & Toghill use samples from a number of quarries, including Ercall, Shropshire, to date the late Precambrian volcanicity of England and Wales, and a recent issue of Palaeontology includes a paper on a new jawless vertebrate from Achanarras Quarry, northern Scotland.…”

“…Ces pièces sont encore conservées dans les collections du MNHN et comprennent notamment des vertèbres opisthocoeles, dont Cuvier avait parfaitement noté la singularité par rapport à celles des crocodiles actuels (Allain, 2001). Cuvier peut de ce fait être considéré comme le premier à avoir donné une description scientifique de restes de dinosaures, contrairement à l'opinion communément admise (Delair et Sarjeant, 2002), qui attribue cette primeur à William Buckland (1824). À une époque où la notion de dinosaures n'avait pas encore été introduite, le savant parisien considérait les restes du théropode de la collection Bacheley comme étant ceux d'une « espèce inconnue de crocodile » alors que le révérend britannique estimait que son Megalosaurus était un « lézard géant ».…”
