A tiny maniraptoran dinosaur in the Lower Cretaceous Hastings Group: Evidence from a new vertebrate-bearing locality in south-east England

►We report the cervical vertebra of a maniraptoran from near Bexhill, East Sussex, UK. ► It comes from the Valanginian Wadhurst Clay Formation of the Wealden Supergroup. ► It is notable for its minute size (total centrum length = 7.1 mm), despite adult status. ► Characters suggest referral to Maniraptora. ► We suggest that total skeletal length of this maniraptoran was 16-40 cm.
