Coloured engraving of a Stegosaurus dinosaur
Stegosaurus. Coloured engraving from 1881 of a man viewing a fossil Stegosaurus dinosaur skeleton. Stegosaurus (" roofed reptile" ) was a herbivore that lived about 150 million years ago during the Jurassic period. It was about 6 metres (m) long and 2.5m high at the hips; it weighed about 1.5 tonnes. The distinctive broad spines running in two rows along its back are thought to have helped control body temperature by radiating or absorbing heat. Stegosaurus defended itself with the long spikes on its tail. Stegosaurus had a tiny brain in relation to its size. The first Stegosaurus skeleton was described in 1875

EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from 1881 showcases a remarkable moment in history, as a man gazes upon the fossilized remains of a Stegosaurus dinosaur skeleton. The intricate details of this artwork transport us back to the Jurassic period, approximately 150 million years ago, when this herbivorous giant roamed the Earth. Measuring an impressive 6 meters in length and standing at a height of 2.5 meters at the hips, Stegosaurus was truly awe-inspiring. Weighing around 1.5 tonnes, its massive frame was adorned with distinctive broad spines running along its back in two rows—a feature believed to have regulated its body temperature by either radiating or absorbing heat. As we delve deeper into the image, our attention is drawn to the long spikes adorning its tail—an effective defense mechanism against potential threats. Surprisingly though, despite its imposing size and appearance, Stegosaurus possessed a minuscule brain relative to its colossal body. The significance of this print lies not only in capturing the magnificence of this ancient creature but also in commemorating an important milestone for paleontology—the first description of a complete Stegosaurus skeleton dating back to 1875. Through this artful depiction and meticulous attention to detail, Science Photo Library invites us on an enlightening journey through time—allowing us to marvel at both nature's wonders and humanity's tireless pursuit of knowledge about our planet's prehistoric past.
