The first record of lizards and amphibians from the Wessex Formation (Lower Cretaceous: Barremian) of the Isle of Wight, England

The Lower Cretaceous beds of the Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight are renowned worldwide for their dinosaur fauna, but traces of associated small tetrapods have been harder to find. Here we report the first definitive records, albeit fragmentary, of lizards and terrestrial amphibians (frogs, albanerpetontids) recovered by screen-washing sediments from the type locality of the theropod dinosaur Neovenator.
