EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Cretaceous: The Iguanodon of Crystal Palace, London" 2.. This photograph showcases the iconic Iguanodon model, a remarkable creation of the 19th century, located in the historic grounds of Crystal Palace in London, England. Conceived by the renowned British paleontologist, Sir Richard Owen, this life-size model was brought to life through the collaborative efforts of Waterhouse Hawkins and Joseph Paxton in 1854. The Iguanodon, an herbivorous dinosaur from the late Cretaceous period, is depicted in its bipedal form, showcasing its distinctive features such as its long, curved claws, elongated snout, and distinctive crest. This model represents one of the earliest attempts to accurately depict a dinosaur based on fossil evidence, paving the way for future dinosaur reconstructions. Belonging to the Archosauria, a group of reptiles that includes dinosaurs and their ancestors, the Iguanodon is classified within the Iguanodontia, a subgroup of ornithischian dinosaurs. Its specific taxonomic position includes the following classifications: Archosauria > Archosauromorpha > Archosauriformes > Archosauria > Dinosauria > Iguanodontia > Iguanodontidae > Iguanodon. The Iguanodon model at Crystal Palace is a testament to the scientific curiosity and innovation of the 19th century. It continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors, offering a unique glimpse into the world of dinosaurs and the rich history of paleontology.
