9. Another Dinosaur

Turning back we come face to face with Megalosaurus. In 1852 it was thought that such huge beasts could only walk on all fours but by 1858 many scientists believed they could walk on their hind legs.

The restoration also includes planting to represent the period as can be seen in the picture. Dr Paul Kendrick, a palaeobotanist from the Natural History Museum, together with landscape architects Gustafson Porter have brought us tree ferns, conifers, horsetails and many other non-flowering plants.
