Megalosaurus Dinosaur, illustration
Head study of megalosaurus. Megalosaurus is a genus of extinct meat-eating dinosaurs, therapods, from the Middle Jurassic period in Earths history, 166 million years ago. It lived in what is now southern England. The first dinosaur fossil ever found, as long ago as 1676, was probably a fragment of thigh bone that belonged to Megalosaurus. This animal was a medium-sized therapod, 6 to 7 m long and weighing about one tonne. Modern understanding is that megalosaurus may have been covered in downy feathers, particularly along its back and belly

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed illustration of the Megalosaurus dinosaur, offering a mesmerizing head study. Transporting us back to the Middle Jurassic period, approximately 166 million years ago, this extinct meat-eating dinosaur roamed what is now southern England. Interestingly, it holds the distinction of being the first-ever discovered dinosaur fossil dating as far back as 1676—a mere fragment of its thigh bone. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of this medium-sized therapod, measuring between 6 to 7 meters in length and weighing around one tonne. Its menacing presence is accentuated by its sharp teeth and piercing gaze. However, modern scientific understanding suggests that this formidable creature may have been adorned with downy feathers along its back and belly—an intriguing revelation that challenges our preconceived notions about dinosaurs. Rendered through computer-generated techniques, this digital masterpiece by Mark Garlick from Science Photo Library truly brings the Megalosaurus to life. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it an exquisite addition to any art collection or educational display. As we immerse ourselves in this awe-inspiring image, we are reminded of Earth's ancient history and humbled by the incredible diversity that once existed on our planet. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to both nature's creativity and humanity's insatiable curiosity for uncovering secrets buried deep within time's embrace.
