"Before time of accuracy, the dinosaur renaissance, and the paleoart of Charles R. Knight and many others. There was, Crystal Palace Park..." In a time when the concept of evolution and extinction are brand new and when early paleontology were still connected to Old Earth Creationism, these depictions are among the first dinosaur reconstructions of all time and are even accurate at the time since most fossils were completely fragmentary and most paleoart depicting them in a almost nightmarish, mythological and biblical way where artists and naturalists can project their own imaginations. These interpretations of the dinosaurs while incredibly outdated and inaccurate by modern standards would become famous in Crystal Palace Park in London, UK and become important to the history of Paleontology.

Dinosaurs included:

---

Megalosaurus: Depicted as a quadrupedal humpbacked crocodilian (And sometimes amphibian or even mammalian-look) bear-like carnivore Iguanodon: Depicted as either an elephantine-like herbivorous quadruped with a horn nose or literally a gigantic-oversized iguana Hylaeosaurus: Depicted as a low-slung herbivore with a row of spikes on its back and being half the size of the other two original dinosaurs.
