This print showcases the fossil foot bones of an Iguanodon dinosaur, providing a glimpse into the ancient world that existed 140 to 110 million years ago. The right foot of this colossal herbivore reveals intriguing details, including small frills of bony overgrowth on some toe joints, indicating that the dinosaur suffered from arthritis. The image is set against a pristine white background, allowing every intricate feature of these fossilized bones to be appreciated. It was captured in a studio setting by the Natural History Museum in London, UK – custodian of this remarkable specimen and countless others. With its historical significance and relevance to zoology and paleontology, this photograph invites us to delve into the wonders of natural history. The Iguanodon's presence evokes awe as we contemplate its existence during the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs roamed our planet. As we examine these meticulously preserved metatarsal bones, we are reminded of the incredible diversity that once thrived on Earth. This particular Iguanodon belonged to a group known as ornithopods and was bipedal like many other dinosaurs. This print serves as a testament to both scientific discovery and artistic appreciation for wildlife long gone. It transports us back through time while igniting curiosity about prehistoric life forms and their place in our planet's rich history.
