Abstract

The limb bone of a dinosaur was discovered from the Valtos Sandstone Formation (Bathonian, Middle Jurassic) near Valtos, Isle of Skye. The bone preserves the eroded proximal and distal ends and is missing the mid-shaft. It represents the first unequivocal Middle Jurassic dinosaur bone from Scotland. The bone is of a sauropod dinosaur and may be the femur of a cetiosaurid.
