Iguanodon Skeleton, Mesozoic Dinosaur

Iguanodon was a massive herbivorous long-tailed bipedal dinosaur common in Europe and N Africa in Jurassic and Cretaceous times: suborder Ornithopoda (ornithopods). They were bulky and could shift from bipedality to quadrupedality. Named in 1825 by English geologist Gideon Mantell, Iguanodon was the second type of dinosaur formally named, after Megalosaurus. The numerous specimens of this genus, including nearly complete skeletons from two well-known bonebeds, have allowed researchers to make informed hypotheses regarding many aspects of the living animal, including feeding, movement, and social behaviour. Photograph originally captioned: Iguanodon skeleton found in a coal mine at Bernissart, Belgium in 1878.
