EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricately detailed cross-section model of an Iguanodon leg, offering a fascinating glimpse into the anatomy of one of the most iconic dinosaurs from the Early Cretaceous period. The Iguanodon, a primarily bipedal herbivore, is recognized as a key member of the Dinosauria, a group of archosaur descendants that includes birds. As a large and agile creature, the Iguanodon relied on powerful upper thigh muscles for balance and support during movement. This is evident in the well-defined muscles depicted in the print, which are situated above the sturdy femur bone. The leg continues down to the ankylopollexia, a fused ankle and foot structure characteristic of many dinosaurs. The Iguanodon, belonging to the Ornithischian subgroup Euornithopoda, is part of the larger clade of Diapsida, which includes both dinosaurs and modern reptiles. This diapsid reptile, with its distinctive diapsid skull and bipedal stance, is a testament to the rich diversity of life that once thrived during the Cretaceous period. The intricate details of the bone structure and muscle fibers in this print offer valuable insights into the inner workings of this extinct creature, providing a unique connection to the prehistoric world that continues to captivate our imaginations.
