1862 British prehistoric marine reptiles
Lithograph with contemporary colouring, continental version of the wallchart produced by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins for the Department of Science and Art 1862. It is entitled " Enaliosauria, or marine lizards that lived during the secondary epoch of the Earths history". Numbered 1 & 2 Plesiosaurs, 3 Teleosaurus (early gharial-like crocodilian), 4 Ichthyosaur, 5 Pentracrinites, 6 Ammonites, 7 Gryphaea. The ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs owe their recontructions largely to the discoveries of Mary Anning in Lyme Regis and descriptions of William Conybeare. Notable here is the earlier incorrect form of the ichthyosaur, with no dorsal fin and a straight rather than bilobed tail fluke. These features only became apparent when specimens preserving skin impressions were found in Germany. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © This image is Paul D. Stewart 2009.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of 19th-century scientific artistry. Created by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins for the Department of Science and Art in 1862, this lithograph with contemporary coloring is titled "Enaliosauria, or marine lizards that lived during the secondary epoch of the Earth's history". Numbered meticulously from one to seven, it presents an array of prehistoric marine reptiles. The first two numbers highlight Plesiosaurs, while number three depicts Teleosaurus, an early crocodilian resembling today's gharials. Number four captures the essence of an Ichthyosaur, a fascinating ancient sea creature. Pentacrinites and Ammonites take their place at numbers five and six respectively, showcasing intricate details preserved in fossilized form. Finally, number seven features Gryphaea. Notably significant are the contributions made by Mary Anning's discoveries in Lyme Regis and William Conybeare's descriptions which aided in reconstructing these magnificent creatures accurately. However, this particular illustration reveals an earlier incorrect depiction of the ichthyosaur without a dorsal fin and sporting a straight tail fluke instead of its true bilobed form—a revelation only made possible through subsequent findings in Germany where specimens preserving skin impressions were discovered. Paul D. Stewart expertly captures this restoration artwork from Crystal Palace at Sydenham with utmost precision and detail through his lens. This print serves as both a testament to historical scientific endeavors and as a stunning visual representation of our planet's rich prehistoric past.
