Paleontologists have identified a previously unknown dinosaur species hidden away inside a London museum drawer for over 100 years. The fossil, originally recovered from the Isle of Wight, has now been officially recognized as Europe's first known megaraptor.
The newly identified creature is a tiger-sized cousin of the fearsome *Tyrannosaurus rex*. Researchers studying the specimen realized it represents a unique feathered dinosaur species that had remained unrecognized in museum archives for a century.
The discovery sheds new light on the diversity of predatory dinosaurs that once roamed Europe. Experts note that re-examining historical collections in major museums continues to yield significant paleontological breakthroughs.
