More than 125 million years ago the tiny island was home to the continent’s deadliest predator in the shape of the Neovenator.
It beat the Jurassic Coast in Dorset as the richest area for dinosaur fossil finds.
A neck bone of a Sauropod, which would have been more than 66ft (20m) long - five times the length of a double decker bus - and weighed about 54tons, was found there.
A 25ft (7.5m) long Neovenator, with saw–like teeth, was also found at the popular tourist spot.
In a report of finds over the past 336 years, Dr Paul Barrett, who works at the museum, discovered that more than 100 species had been unearthed in Britain.
"Dinosaur fossils are still found on a regular basis in the cliffs and quarries of the UK and many more surprises are likely to be waiting in the rocks," he said.
Sussex, Surrey and Oxfordshire were the most significant areas but dinosaur bones have been found in the Isle of Skye, and 180–million–year–old footprints can be seen in Whitby, North Yorkshire.
The Oxfordshire village of Ardley has the highest concentration of discoveries, with three–toed footprints over an area the third of the size of a football pitch.
Research also shows that Sunderland was a regular stomping ground for the plant-eating iguanadon, while the baryonyx, which had spines on its teeth, was once a common predator in Surrey.
The dinosaur map of Britain was produced to highlight Primeval: New World - a Canadian spinoff to the hit ITV series - currently airing on Tuesdays at 9pm, on Watch.
