EDITORS COMMENTS
In this artists' impression, we are transported back in time to the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 144 to 90 million years ago, in the lush landscapes of Southern England. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the verdant foliage, illuminating a world teeming with life that once roamed our planet. At the heart of this scene, the iconic Iguanodon, a large, herbivorous dinosaur, can be seen grazing peacefully amongst the towering ferns and conifers. Its distinctive crest adorns its head, while its long, powerful hind legs support its massive body. As we venture further into this prehistoric wonderland, a turtle basks in the sun, its protective shell shielding it from potential predators. The tranquil waters of a nearby stream provide a haven for aquatic life, while along the banks, a pair of crocodiles lie in wait, their powerful jaws and sharp teeth ready to strike. This scene is a testament to the diverse and fascinating ecosystems that existed during the Cretaceous period. The animals depicted here, including the Iguanodon, turtle, and crocodiles, are all members of the Archosauria, a group of reptiles that includes dinosaurs, crocodiles, and their extinct relatives. The Iguanodon is classified as an Ornithopod, a type of dinosaur characterized by their bird-like hips and hind limbs. The crocodiles belong to the Crocodylia, a group of living crocodile-like reptiles, while the turtle is a representative of the Testudines. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of life on Earth, inviting us to explore the wonders of the Early Cretaceous period and the diverse array of creatures that once inhabited our planet.
