Day 1: Sculpture

This pair of iguanodons are part of the Crystal Palace Dinosaur Park. The dinosaur park sculptures were created by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, with advice from Sir Richard Owen, a biologist and palaeontologist. The sculptures pre-date the publishing of Darwin's On the Origin of Species by six years, and are famed for their inaccuracy! For example, the pictured iguanodons have a spike on their nose, which is now know to be a part of their thumb.
