An artist's impression of a species of prehistoric flying reptile dating from 115 million years ago which was discovered by Daisy Morris, five, who is to now have the species named after her, as Vectidraco daisymorrisae. The youngster, who is now nine, stumbled across the fossil at Atherfield beach on the Isle of Wight in 2009 and took it to local dinosaur expert Martin Simpson.

Vertidraco means "dragon from the Isle of Wight" while the rest of the title is named after the young fossil-hunter.
