The Mesozoic era is represented in the park by the model rock exposure showing a succession of beds, namely the Jurassic and Cretaceous, by models of dinosaurs and other animals known from mesozoic fossils, and by suitable vegetation – both living plants and models.. Curiously, it is Hylaeosaurus, from the Cretaceous of England, not Iguanodon, that most resembles the giant …

Gideon Algernon Mantell MRCS FRS (3 February 1790 – 10 November 1852) was a British obstetrician, geologist and palaeontologist.His attempts to reconstruct the structure and life of Iguanodon began the scientific study of dinosaurs: in 1822 he was responsible for the discovery (and the eventual identification) of the first fossil teeth, and later much of the skeleton, of …

Iguanodon poseía un robusto aparato masticador, dotado con la dentición típica de un reptil herbívoro. [10] El mismo Mantell notó que los restos con los que trabajaba eran distintos a los de cualquier reptil moderno, especialmente en la mandíbula inferior con una sínfisis en forma de cuchara, que comparó con el perezoso de dos dedos y el extinto perezoso terrestre Mylodon.

A Dinosaur's Story (later adapted into a feature-length film of the same name). Tyrannosaurus has also been featured in the novel Primeval: Extinction Event, by Dan Abnett. Other appearances

Zalmoxes is a rather small genus of bipedal herbivore with a large triangular head and a beak. Z. shqiperorum is the larger species, known from a subadult 2.5 m (8.2 ft) long, as well as an early juvenile 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in length, while Z. robustus subadults range from 2–2.4 m (6.6–7.9 ft) long. An adult Z. robustus would have measured up to 2.5 m (8.2 ft) in length and 45 kg (99 lb) in ...
