Iguanodon leg
A model cross section of an Iguanodon leg showing the bones, muscles and foot. The Iguanodon was a mainly a bipedal dinosaur. It required large upper thigh muscles for balance and support

Edmontosaurus ankle & foot
The fossil ankle and foot bones of Edmontosaurus prepared for an exhibition at the Natural History Museum, London. The fossils were arranged as if they were lying in the quarry in which they were

Lower Cretaceous dinosaurs discovered in England
An illustration showing a scene in Lower Cretaceous (145 - 100 million years ago) South East England, featuring the following dinosaurs from the left: Iguanodon, Altispinax

Mary Ann Mantell
Portrait of Mary Ann Mantell, the daughter of G E Woodhouse and wife of Dr Gideon Mantell. She is commonly thought to have found the first Iguanodon tooth in 1822

Edmontosaurus
Fossil jaw that once belonged to Edmonotosaurus. It shows the interlocking teeth which formed a grating surface for eating tough vegetation

Hypsilophodon
A model of Hypsilophodon, a Lower Cretaceous period dinosaur, living 125 million years ago. Its fossils have been found in England and Spain, being first described by Huxley in 1869

Hypsilophodon skeleton
A mounted skeleton of the dinosaur Hypsilophodon, whose name meand high-ridge tooth. This specimen that dates back to 125 million years ago was discovered in England

Dryosaurus femur & vertebra
Right femur, length 196 mm, and caudal vertebra from a dryosaurus which lived during the Upper Jurassic, 155 to 140 million years ago in present day Tanzania, East africa

Iguanodon teeth
Some original Iguanodon teeth found by Dr. and Mrs. Mantell. The tooth on the right is 5.3cm long as preserved. Iguanodon was a large plant eater with cheek teeth for grinding vegetation

Iguanodon brain
A partial skull that contains a natural mould (endocast) of the interior of the skull where the brain would sit. This is a representation of the external shape of the Iguanodon brain

Iguanodon thumb spike
A fossil thumb spike that once belonged to Iguanodon, a herbivorous dinosaur that lived 140 to 110 million years ago. It is though to have used its sharp ended thumb to defend itself against predators

Iguanodon metatarsal
A fossil metatarsal (the long bone of the foot) that once belonged to the herbivorous bipedal dinosaur, Iguanodon. The rough patches are where the muscles and tendons were attached to the bone

Iguanodon foot
The right foot of a very large Iguanodon. Some of the toe joints have small frills of bony overgrowth, showing that the dinosaur was suffering from arthritis

Iguanodon hand
Fossil remains of a hand that once belonged to the herbivorous dinosaur, Iguanodon. Notice the very sharpe spike like thumb which is thought to have been used for defending itself against predators

"Unveiling the Enigmatic Euornithopoda: A Journey through Time" Step into the fascinating world of Euornithopoda, a group of herbivorous dinosaurs that roamed the Earth during the Secondary Period. This captivating caption takes you on an adventure filled with intriguing discoveries and remarkable fossils. Amongst these magnificent creatures were Iguanodon and Hylaeosaurus, two iconic representatives of this dinosaur family. Their remains were first unearthed in The Wealden, a geological formation known for its rich fossil record. Restorations based on these findings can be admired at Crystal Palace Park, offering visitors a glimpse into prehistoric life. One cannot overlook Corythosaurus and its extraordinary cranial crest resembling a musical instrument. Equally impressive is the Parasaurolophus skeleton, showcasing their unique adaptations for communication through sound. Restorations of secondary period animals provide us with valuable insights into their appearance and behavior. Witnessing reconstructions of Iguanodon alongside Megalosaurus allows us to comprehend their comparative sizes and appreciate the diversity that once thrived on our planet. Heterodontosaurus stands out as another intriguing member due to its distinct heterodont dentition – different types of teeth serving various purposes within one species. Imagine being invited to dinner in Iguanodon on December 31st, 1853. This whimsical event highlights our fascination with these ancient creatures and invites us to ponder what it would have been like to witness them firsthand. Euornithopoda's dental legacy lives on through preserved fossils such as an Iguanodon tooth – a tangible connection to their existence millions of years ago. Additionally, examining Hypsilophodon's skull sheds light on its anatomy while observing its delicate foot structure provides clues about locomotion patterns. As we explore the wonders of Euornithopoda, we are reminded of the vast diversity that once roamed our planet.
