Depictions of iguanodon, pterodactylus, ichthyosaurus, plesiosaurus, hylaeosaurus and megalosaurus based on the crystal palace statues as well as their modern counterparts.
The crystal palace dinosaur statues constructed in the 1850′s are both very impressive pieces of art as well as a striking demonstration of scientific progress in the field of paleontology, for all their inaccuracies they are still an extremely important piece of paleoart history.
I feel like we all don't appreciate the fact mosasaurs were lizards enough.
Like, they're the only prehistoric animal group that people accidentally call "giant lizards" and are right about it.
It's a beautiful broken-clock-correct-twice-a-day scenario.
