Iguanodon model, 1990s
Studies show that the weight of Iguanodons body was counterbalanced by the heavy tail and that it was able to move on two or four legs. They lived between 140 and 110 million years ago

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricately detailed model of the Iguanodon, an early dinosaur that roamed the Earth during the Cretaceous period, approximately 140 to 110 million years ago. Belonging to the Iguanodontidae family and the larger group of Ornithischians, Iguanodon is recognized as one of the first dinosaurs to exhibit both bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion. Studies suggest that the Iguanodon's massive body was counterbalanced by its heavy tail, allowing it to move efficiently on two legs when necessary. The Iguanodon was an herbivorous dinosaur, feeding on a variety of vegetation. Its name, derived from the Latin words for "iguana" and "tooth," refers to its tooth shape, which resembled that of an iguana. This model accurately depicts the Iguanodon's distinctive features, including its large thumb spike, small forelimbs, and elongated snout. As a member of the Archosauria, the Iguanodon shared several characteristics with other archosaurians, such as a diapsid skull and a post-temporal fenestra. The Iguanodon also belonged to the Iguanodontia, a subgroup of the Ornithischia characterized by the presence of a secondary palate and ankylopollexia, a condition where the lower limbs are fused to the pelvis. This model, created in the 1990s, is a testament to the advancements in paleontology and the fascination with dinosaurs that permeated the popular culture of the time. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of life that once existed on our planet.
