Photographic Print : Iguanodon and Megalosaurus dinosaurs
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Iguanodon and Megalosaurus dinosaurs
Iguanodon (left) and Megalosaurus (right), historical artwork. This inaccurate reconstruction shows the dinosaurs co-existing when they actually date from two different time periods, the Early Cretaceous and Middle Jurassic respectively. It was thought that Megalosaurus was a quadruped, but it was later found to be bipedal. Similarly, Iguanodons thumb spike is incorrectly shown as a nose spike. Artwork from The World Before the Deluge (Louis Figuier, 1891 edition)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing historical artwork featuring the Iguanodon and Megalosaurus dinosaurs. However, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that this reconstruction is not entirely accurate. The image depicts these magnificent creatures co-existing in a lush forest setting, despite belonging to different time periods - the Early Cretaceous and Middle Jurassic respectively. Furthermore, scientific discoveries have since revealed some misconceptions about these prehistoric giants. Initially believed to be a quadruped, Megalosaurus was later found to be bipedal, challenging our understanding of its locomotion. Similarly, the illustration erroneously portrays Iguanodon's thumb spike as a nose spike. Created by Louis Figuier for his renowned publication "The World Before the Deluge" in 1891, this artwork reflects the prevailing knowledge of that era. Although inaccurate by today's standards of paleontology and scientific research methods, it serves as a valuable testament to the history of science and our evolving understanding of Earth's ancient inhabitants. Immerse yourself in this mesmerizing scene from centuries past – witness these majestic reptiles engaged in what appears to be a fierce battle for survival. While we now know that such interactions between Iguanodon and Megalosaurus were impossible due to their temporal separation, let us appreciate how far we've come in unraveling the mysteries of our planet's distant past through palaeozoology and paleontological studies.
