Framed Prints From Science Photo Library
Framed Print of 1770 Cuvier Mstricht Mosasaur
1812 Plate 1 of the big fossil animal (later named Mosasaur hoffmanii) from Vol. III, Cuviers Ossamens Fossiles'. The Mstricht Mosasaur was the first giant prehistoric reptile to be found and described by science. It prompted enlightenment scholars to consider that the world might once have been populated by different creatures to those found today. It was excavated in the St. Peters Bergs cave system by miners, and publicised widely by the naturalist Johann Hoffman. It was later captured by French Revolutionary forces in Holland and taken to Paris. A Dutch naturalist Adriaan Camper realised the beast was allied to the lizards in 1799. In 1808 Georges Cuvier confirmed this conclusion and published it in his seminal paleontology work Ossamens Fossiles (the pages in this image). It was not actually named Mosasaurus ( Meuse reptile ) in 1822. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © PAUL D STEWART/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
