| This is a drawing of some dinosaur models made in Victorian times by Benjamin
Hawkins, aided by the palaeontologist Richard Owen. When the models were
finished, in 1853, they held a dinner inside the model of Iguanodon.
The models are still on display in London on an island at Crystal Palace.

| - Center Iguanodon a dinosaur. Notice the spike on its nose. This has
now been discovered to be a thumb, attached to the hand.
- Right Hylaeosaurus a dinosaur.
- Left (background) Anoplotherium a (Tertiary) mammal.
- Front right Dicynodon.
- Front left Labyrinthodon an amphibian.
Notice how Hawkins has used modern animals such as turtles and frogs as a base
for his models.
