EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Journey Through Time: Restorations of Secondary Period Animals by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins" This artwork print, donated by Mary Hawkins, showcases a stunning collection of restored animals from the Secondary Period, expertly rendered by the renowned English sculptor Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. The artwork transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at the diverse and fascinating creatures that once roamed the Earth. The Secondary Period, also known as the Mesozoic Era, spans from approximately 252 to 66 million years ago. This era is marked by the dominance of reptiles, with the emergence of archosauriformes, the ancestral group of archosaurs, which includes dinosaurs, crocodiles, and their extinct relatives. The artwork features a rich tapestry of life, showcasing various groups of animals. Among them are ankylosauria, armored dinosaurs such as Ankylosaurus and Ankylopollexia, which are characterized by their armor-like plates and club-like tails. Carnosauria, meat-eating dinosaurs like Megalosaurus and Iguanodon, are also represented. Additionally, the print includes other fascinating creatures from this era, such as the diapsid reptiles, which include lizards and snakes, and the ichthyosaurs, marine reptiles adapted for aquatic life. Dicynodonts, a group of synapsid reptiles, are also depicted, including the well-known Dicynodon. Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins' meticulous restorations provide a glimpse into the richness and diversity of life during the Secondary Period. His work, which was originally displayed at the Crystal Palace in London, has continued to inspire and captivate generations of scientists, artists, and the public alike. This artwork is a testament to the power of art and science to transport us through time and deepen our understanding of the natural world.
