EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a pair of authentic Iguanodon teeth, discovered in the 19th century by the renowned British paleontologists, Dr. Gideon Algernon Mantell and his wife, Mrs. Mantell. The tooth on the right measures an impressive 5.3cm in length as preserved. Iguanodon was a remarkable herbivorous dinosaur that roamed the earth during the late Cretaceous period, approximately 125 to 130 million years ago. Iguanodon is recognized as one of the first dinosaurs to be formally named and described, and was a key transitional species between ornithischian and saurischian dinosaurs. This dinosaur was characterized by its bipedal stance, large size, and distinctive cheek teeth, which were adapted for grinding vegetation. Iguanodon's anatomy also included hoof-like claws, which provided additional support and stability as it moved about its environment. Iguanodon is classified within the Archosauria, a group of reptiles that includes dinosaurs and their close relatives. More specifically, it belongs to the Ankylopollexia, Archosauromorpha, Archosauriformes, Archosauria, Cerapoda, Dinosauromorpha, Dryomorpha, Euornithopoda, Genasauria, Hadrosauriformes, Iguanodontae, Iguanodontia, and Gideon Algernon Mantell's own Iguanodontidae. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of paleontology and the fascinating discoveries that have shaped our understanding of the prehistoric world. The Iguanodon teeth serve as a reminder of the intricate and complex anatomy of these ancient creatures, and the ongoing quest to uncover the secrets of their existence.
