Plate 1: Approaching the Island |
|
| This is the first thing you see as you approach the Dinosaur Islands from the ruins of the main building via the modern-day sports centre. From left to right, you can see a Mosasaur (since only the head had been discovered at the time, Hawkins cleverly submerged the rest of the animal in water), a nest of pterodactyls, and a famously ill-reconstructed Iguanadon. I'd first thought that this was the one in which a publicity-stunt dinner was famously staged in 1853, but apparently it was the mould used to make it that was the dining room. |
