EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the monumental year of 1824 in the world of paleontology. The image showcases the first page (390) of William Buckland's groundbreaking paper, "Notice on the Megalosaurus or great Fossil Lizard of Stonesfield" published in Transactions of the Geological Society of London. In this historic volume, we witness two significant scientific advancements. Firstly, Buckland presents his pioneering scientific description of a dinosaur called Megalosaurus, forever cementing its place as one of the earliest recognized dinosaurs. Secondly, Conybeare contributes by validating and reconstructing Plesiosaurs and Ichthyosaurs through rigorous scientific methods. The meeting where this remarkable paper was read witnessed Gideon Mantell's presence. It is worth noting that Mantell had recently discovered the first remains of Iguanodon and was preparing to publish his findings shortly after. This monochrome photograph not only captures a momentous chapter in paleontological history but also pays homage to renowned figures such as Richard Owen, Leidy, Parkinson, and Oxford Museum who played vital roles in advancing our understanding of prehistoric life. With its focus on dentition and showcasing an ancient tooth from Megalosaurus, this image serves as a visual reminder that every fossil holds invaluable clues about Earth's distant past. Paul D. Stewart masterfully brings together all these elements into an awe-inspiring composition that celebrates discovery and fuels our curiosity for uncovering more secrets hidden within our planet
