Framed Print of 1857 Gosse pterodactyle Bat-Lizards
1857 Illustration by Philip Gosse for his book Omphalos (which sought to explain that the world looked older than Creation because it had to be constructed by God with inbuilt history so that it would continue to work seamlessly). One of the mistakes he made in the book, was following E. Newmans earlier suggestion (1843) in The Zoologist that the pterodactyle was actually a form of marsupial bat with lizard like features. Omphalos was not a good book for Gosses reputation, finding critics on both sides of the science-religion debate. The name Omphalos means navel - referring to the fact that Adam was created with a navel even though he had never been attached to a placenta.
