摘要
A partial right tibia of a carnivorous dinosaur is reported from the Lower Jurassic Broadford Beds Formation of southern Strath, Skye. The bone consists of the proximal end and shaft of a tibia, and this shows characteristic features of the ceratosaur theropods, a group of medium-sized predatory dinosaurs that were widespread during the Early Jurassic. This tibia, and a partial sauropod tibia from the Middle Jurassic of Skye, represent the first clear records of dinosaur body fossils from Scotland.
