EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Toxodon platensis skull C016 / 6119, a remarkable relic from the nineteenth century. Against a pristine white background, this fossilized mammal skull takes center stage, allowing us to marvel at its intricate anatomy and extinct nature. Originally discovered in Uruguay, South America, this Toxodon platensis specimen holds great significance in the field of paleontology. It played a pivotal role in Charles Darwin's groundbreaking research during his voyage on HMS Beagle in the early 1800s. As one of the first placental mammals encountered by Darwin, it provided valuable insights into prehistoric wildlife. The Victorian-era craftsmanship is evident as we observe every detail of this well-preserved toxodont skull. Its size and scale give us an idea of the impressive stature these creatures once possessed. Belonging to the order Notoungulata within Meridiungulata group, Toxodon platensis represents an ancient lineage known as toxodonts or notoungulates. Displayed here as a cutout against a stark backdrop, this photograph allows us to appreciate both its scientific value and aesthetic appeal. The Natural History Museum in London proudly presents this print from their collection—a testament to their dedication towards preserving our planet's rich natural history.
