The “Barnes High Sauropod” is the unofficial name for a sauropod dinosaur that lived in Britain during the Early Cretaceous.
Description[]
The Barnes High taxon is a nickname given to MIWG-BP001, discovered around the Barnes High cliffs, Wessex Formation in 1992. This was owned by the privately run, unaccredited Dinosaur Farm Museum near Brighstone. The situation behind the remains is described as "complex" and is currently inaccessible to research, making it to stay a nomen nudum until further notice. The skeleton comprises of presacral and anterior caudal vertebrae, a girdle and limb elements, which includes a near-complete forelimb. It is ~40% complete, described to be a brachiosaurid or possibly the same as Eucamerotus, due to some vertebral similarities.
Recent information suggests the Barnes High sauropod is now in an accredited institution.
