EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases a reconstruction of the extinct Iguanodon bernissartensis, a dinosaur that roamed the Earth during the late Barremian to early Aptian periods of the Early Cretaceous era, approximately 125 to 120 million years ago. Iguanodon bernissartensis is one of the most well-known dinosaurs from Europe, with the first fossil discoveries made in Bernissart, Belgium. The dinosaur in this illustration is depicted with several distinctive features, including a long, curved snout, a pair of large, thumb-like fingers on its hind limbs, and a series of bumps along its back. These bumps were once thought to be plates or spikes, but recent research suggests they may have been covered in a layer of skin. Iguanodon bernissartensis is often compared to the North American dinosaur Stegosaurus due to their similar body shapes and the presence of plates or bumps along their backs. However, the two dinosaurs are not closely related, and Iguanodon was actually a large, herbivorous ornithopod, while Stegosaurus was a large, herbivorous stegosaur. This illustration is taken from Wilhelm Bolsche's Prehistoric Life, first published in 1932 by Georg Dollheimer in Leipzig, Germany. The artwork is credited to Hugo Wolff, Maage, and Bolsche, and it showcases the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that was characteristic of the time. The illustration also includes a marine creature in the background, highlighting the diverse range of life that existed during the Mesozoic era. Overall, this illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the prehistoric world, offering a glimpse into the lives of the dinosaurs and other creatures that once roamed the Earth millions of years ago. It is a testament to the enduring fascination that dinosaurs hold for us, and a reminder of the important role that paleontology and zoology play in helping us understand the natural world.
