1838 Toxodon teeth & figs. from Darwin c 1838 Toxodon teeth & figs. from Darwin c
Toxodon platensis fossil teeth together with teeth featured in George Sharfs life-sized lithograph (plate IV) from " The Zoology of the Voyage of HMS Beagle" under the supervision of Charles Darwin, Part 1, " Fossil Mammalia" by Richard Owen (1838). True signatures of Owen and Fitzroy included centre top. Toxodon was one of the many striking extinct giant mammals that Darwin discovered while travelling overland in South America during the Voyage of the Beagle. Toxodon was named by Richard Owen (then a friend but later bitter enemy) after the curvature evident in the profile of the teeth. Toxodon means " bow tooth". Though Toxodon has no living relatives, many of the other fossils Darwin found were related to the animals still living there. Darwin wondered if they were ancestors, and in later years would cite these fossils (and the Galapagos islands) as " the origin of all my views"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable 1838 Toxodon teeth and figs, discovered by Charles Darwin during his groundbreaking voyage on HMS Beagle. The image features a juxtaposition of Toxodon platensis fossil teeth alongside teeth depicted in George Sharf's life-sized lithograph from "The Zoology of the Voyage of HMS Beagle" under the guidance of Darwin himself. Richard Owen, initially a friend but later a bitter enemy to Darwin, named this extraordinary creature Toxodon due to the distinctive curvature evident in its tooth profile. Translated as "bow tooth". Toxodon was one among many awe-inspiring extinct giant mammals that Darwin encountered while exploring South America overland. Although Toxodon has no living relatives, numerous other fossils collected by Darwin were closely related to present-day animals inhabiting those regions. This led him to ponder whether these fossils could be ancestral species. In subsequent years, he would cite these discoveries (alongside his observations on the Galapagos islands) as pivotal influences shaping his revolutionary theories on evolution and natural selection. In this thought-provoking photograph captured by Paul D. Stewart for Science Photo Library, we are reminded of both the scientific significance and artistic beauty found within paleontological specimens. The inclusion of true signatures from Richard Owen and Fitzroy at the center top adds an authentic touch to this historical artifact, further emphasizing its importance in our understanding of Earth's ancient past.
