Model bones
1/25
Date of production,
2010

This puzzle piece is inspired by one of the rare bones from which Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins made the sculpture of a Megalosaurus in scale 1850. Anatomically incorrect (the dinosaur is represented as a quadruped whereas it is of a bipedal ancestor of the tyrannosaurus) the sculpture was exhibited among other dinosaurs to the delight of visitors to the Crystal Palace World's Fair.
