Sauroposeidon
The press release in 1999 immediately garnered international media attention, which led to many (inaccurate) news reports of "the largest dinosaur ever!". While "Sauroposeidon" likely represents the tallest known dinosaur taxon, it does not hold records for either the longest or most massive. "Patagotitan" or "Argentinosaurus" make better candidates for the title "World's Largest Dinosaur" (presuming to ignore, as is conventional, "Amphicoelias"), though incomplete fossil evidence makes exact rankings impossible.
Lyme Regis
The Blue Lias rock is host to a multitude of remains from the early Jurassic, a time from which good fossil records are rare. Many remains are well preserved, including complete specimens of important species. Many of the earliest discoveries of dinosaur and other prehistoric reptile remains were made in the area around Lyme Regis, notably those discovered by Mary Anning (1799–1847). Significant finds include "Ichthyosaur", "Plesiosaur", "Dimorphodon", "Scelidosaurus" (one of the first armoured dinosaurs) and "Dapedium". The town holds an annual Mary Anning Day and Lyme Regis Fossil Festival. A fossil of the world's largest moth was discovered in 1966 at Lyme Regis.
