Meet “Meg” the Megalosaurus

It is always a pleasure to come across a company that cares passionately about what they do and how they create their products.  One such company is Dice Maestro the developers of the dinosaur themed card and dice combat game – Jurassic Wars.  We had the chance to meet up with the designers behind this award winning game the other day and we were introduced to “Meg” one of the meat-eating dinosaurs featured amongst the ten theropod dinosaurs in Jurassic Wars.  “Meg” as she is called, is actually a Megalosaurus (Megalosaurus bucklandii), a swift hunter from the Middle Jurassic.

It is very appropriate to have a Megalosaurus to promote this British manufactured game, after all Megalosaurus was the first dinosaur to be scientifically studied and formerly described and one of original founder members of the Order Dinosauria as stated by that famous English anatomist, Sir Richard Owen.

Although, ichnologists (scientist who specialise in studying tracks and footprints), cannot be sure what sort of meat-eating dinosaur made those prints, it could have been a Megalosaurus like “Meg”.  The illustration shows this beautifully balanced dinosaur in mid stride with its jaws opening perhaps depicting the last moments of a chase as this hunter prepares to attack its victim.

A delight to encounter “Meg” and a lovely illustration of this Jurassic carnivore.

Megalosaurus Footprints being Prepared for Display

Fossilised tracks made by a fierce Jurassic carnivore, Megalosaurus when Oxfordshire was part of a sub-tropical paradise have made a perilous journey to their new home, where they will go in display in the Autumn.

The fossil footprints, measuring 50 cm across have been transported from the temporary storage site to the Oxfordshire Museum, where they will feature in a permanent exhibit dedicated to the dinosaur that is believed to have made these prints – a Megalosaurus.

Fossilised Footprints

The short trip to the museum marks the end of 10 years of excavation and planning after the trackway was first uncovered at a landfill site in Ardley, close to Bicester.  The twenty-five mile trip from the storage site, where the fragile prints were prepared for their perilous journey, to the museum took five hours.  Project Manager, Tom Freshwater, who works at the Oxfordshire Museum, commented:

“The prints weigh three tons each so the main challenge has been getting them into the garden, where they will be displayed.  They had to be lifted very gently and smoothly because the rock is quite fragile and there are already cracks within the stone so we had to make sure that did not get worse.”

The fossil dinosaur footprints had been excavated in sections, of approximately 1 cubed metre, they were encased in plastic sheeting to protect them and set on steel plates to support the weight of the stone as the rocks made their journey.  Having arrived safely at the Museum, each block was carefully winched over the Museum boundary fence into a specially prepared garden area.  A great deal of care had to be taken as each block was lifted off the lorry, swung over the fence and placed in position.  Despite their weight, the blocks are delicate and every precaution was taken to prevent any damage to the fossils.

A Jurassic Environment

The Museum plans to create a replica of the Jurassic environment and display the prints alongside a life-size model of a Megalosaurus.  About 30 to 40 prints were originally discovered at Ardley Landfill and Recycling Centre, run by Viridor Waste Management, and those not been transferred have been preserved in situ.  The prints are very important as meat-eating dinosaur tracks are exceptionally rare and these particular prints, believed to have been made by a megalosaur provide evidence of a change of speed of the animal.  The spacing between the prints gets longer, indicating a bigger stride length and an increase in speed of the animal.

The exhibit is likely to be opened in October.

Megalosaurus

Megalosaurus was the first dinosaur to be named and scientifically described, although the original specimen (known as the holotype), consists of a partial lower jaw, some teeth and a few scraps of fossil bone, it appears that this dinosaur was a fierce, general carnivore, perhaps the top predator around at the time.  Although, scientists have improved their knowledge of European carnivorous dinosaurs (thanks to a number of new finds that have come to light over the last twenty years or so), the Megalosaurus genus has gained a bit of a reputation as a dumping ground for theropod miscellany.  A number of carnivorous dinosaur fossils have been assigned to Megalosaurus, approximately 50 different genera have found themselves classified as Megalosaurus at one time or another.  The exact taxonomic relationship between these various carnivorous dinosaurs remains uncertain but at least attempts have been made to re-define the characteristics of Megalosaurus and establish other genera for meat-eating dinosaur fossils.

Megalosaurus has been referred to as a “waste basket genus”, to read an article on this: Megalosaurus – a Dinosaur Waste Basket.

Megalosaurus fossils are known from Europe and Africa, it is believed that they were capable of growing up to 9 metres in length, although the fossil trackway was made by a dinosaur estimated to be 7 metres long.  Although it is impossible to precisely identify the exact species of dinosaur that made the prints, the tracks may have been made by a sub-adult animal.  Estimates of the weight of megalosaurs vary, but the not fully grown animal that left its prints in the soft Jurassic mud all those millions of years ago, would have weighed more than 1,000 kilogrammes.

The Natural History museum created a scale model of Megalosaurus when they launched their dinosaur model collection a few years ago.  They coloured this model in orange and grey stripes, although purely speculation these markings would have helped break up this fierce hunter’s outline keeping it hidden and help it ambush prey.

Megalosaurus – A Dinosaur Waste Basket

By |2023-02-24T16:00:42+00:00November 25th, 2007|Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal News Stories, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page|

Megalosaurus – A Dinosaur Waste Basket

Megalosaurus represents a very important genus within the Dinosauria cladogram.  As a meat-eater it is part of the theropod group and as a family, the megalosaurs tend to be overshadowed by their more illustrious relatives the tyrannosaurs, Maniraptoriformes and allosaurs.  However, Megalosaurus will still hold a special place in the hearts of scientists as it was the first Dinosaur to be named and described.

Megalosaurus

This momentous event took place in 1824, nearly 20 years before the name dinosaur was invented.  An English clergyman and geologist the Reverend William Buckland was appointed to examine and review a piece of fossilised lower jaw plus a number of other strange fossil bones which had been found in quarries in Oxfordshire.  He had been aware of these bones for a number of years and collected several specimens himself.  In his review, William Buckland incorporated studies of upper and lower limb bones, parts of the pelvis, scapula and vertebrae.  It was the lower jaw that played the most important role in his studies.  Although the bones were assumed to come from the same genus, but from different individuals, it was the lower jaw that was most striking.

The teeth were different from any other living animals, known to science at the time and the jaw had a number of teeth embedded within it ready to emerge, replacing older teeth in the jaw.

Identifying the fossils as belonging to a reptile, William Buckland used living lizards anatomy to estimate the size of this new animal.  He calculated that the creature was over 13 metres in Length (in excess of 40 feet), and would have weighed more than an elephant.  In the light of this evidence the name Megalosaurus (means huge or great lizard) was adopted, although the name had been already ascribed to this animal by another British scientist – James Parkinson two years earlier.

Lithographic Plates

The Reverend Buckland’s article contained five beautifully detailed lithographic plates that depicted the fossils.  Special attention was paid to illustrating the jaw fragment, as Buckland understood the significance of this particular find.  Even today, skull bones, teeth and jaws are the prize finds for palaeontologists as they can tell them so much about the animal’s lifestyle and possible relationships to other dinosaur species.  On one plate Buckland provided views of the inside (lingual view – what the teeth look like facing the tongue) and the outside (labial view – what the teeth look like when viewed from the side that would have faced the lips).  These were drawn at 1/2 scale but in addition he provided a fold out section within his paper that illustrated the lingual view of the jaw at full size.  Perhaps he was aware of the need to demonstrate the size of the animal using this full size drawing with its socket-ed teeth, or maybe this additional illustration was added to give a “flourish” to his work.  Certainly, in the scientific circles of the gentry in the 1820s a bit of “embellishment” was quite common place.

Ironically, William Buckland in his published paper never actually stated that the jawbone came from a carnivore, an obvious deduction given the shape and size of the teeth, but in the final print of his work, this fact was not included.

Little is known about Megalosaurus, with very few finds of this type of Jurassic carnivore being made to add to our knowledge.  In fact, for much of the 19th and early 20th Centuries many partial fossils and fragments from carnivores discovered in Europe were assigned to the genus Megalosaurus.  So many finds were labelled as belonging to megalosaurs that this genera became known as “a Dinosaur Waste Basket” with virtually every indeterminate piece of carnosaur fossil being placed within this group.  It is only in the last few years, as our knowledge of European theropods has improved that scientists have taken a fresh look at these “Megalosaurus bones” and have begun to sort them out into other genera.

Megalosaurus was one of the top predators around at the time, it reached lengths of around 9 metres and weighed approximately 1 tonne.  As a result, a number of Megalosaurus dinosaur models have been produced.

It remains a favourite amongst model collectors and dinosaur enthusiasts and in recognition of this it was one of the first dinosaurs commissioned by the Natural History museum when they created their own model collection.

New Royal Mail Prehistoric Animal Stamps

By |2024-03-21T10:02:24+00:00March 12th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Drawings, Dinosaur Fans, Educational Activities, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|

A beautiful set of Royal Mail prehistoric animal stamps is being introduced. The main set will feature prehistoric animals including Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops and Stegosaurus. A second set of stamps is also going on sale commemorating the life and works of Mary Anning.

The eight main stamps feature beautiful illustrations of prehistoric animals by the Exeter-based digital concept illustrator Joshua Dunlop. Six dinosaurs are featured along with a pterosaur (Coloborhynchus) and a plesiosaur (Cryptoclidus). Picture credit: Royal Mail.

Celebrating Two Hundred Years Since the Formal Description of Megalosaurus

2024 marks the two hundredth anniversary of the formal, scientific description of a prehistoric animal that was later to be classified as a dinosaur. The theropod dinosaur Megalosaurus was named and described in 1824 by the Reverend William Buckland who was president of the Geological Society of London. The binomial species name Megalosaurus bucklandii was erected in 1827. This was the first scientific account in the western world of a dinosaur. Megalosaurus features on a pair of stamps along with the roughly contemporaneous marine reptile Cryptoclidus.

Megalosaurus was for a long time a taxonomic waste basket. Theropod fossils from different strata were assigned to this taxon. The only definitive Megalosaurus remains come from Oxfordshire (England).

Royal Mail Prehistoric Animal Stamps

The eight prehistoric animal stamps were created by Joshua Dunlop, a digital concept artist based in Exeter (Devon). A second set of stamps features a portrait of the pioneering fossil collector Mary Anning. In addition, three stamps have been created that show photographs of fossils associated with Mary Anning and the Lower Jurassic rocks of Lyme Regis.

The list of dinosaurs featured:

  • Tyrannosaurus
  • Triceratops
  • Stegosaurus
  • Diplodocus
  • Iguanodon
  • Megalosaurus

In Collaboration with the London Natural History Museum

The Royal Mail prehistoric animal stamps were created in collaboration with the London Natural History Museum.

North American dinosaurs are featured (Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus and Diplodocus). Prehistoric animals known from fossil discoveries from southern England are also included. Each pair of stamps show a similar image but from a different prehistoric animal’s perspective. For example, one pair of stamps depicts a herd of Iguanodon escaping a forest fire whilst a flock of startled pterosaurs (Coloborhynchus) fly overhead.

Everything Dinosaur Comments

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“These are beautiful stamps. The eight prehistoric animal stamps show four different scenes, and they are designed to be viewed as pairs. For instance, the Tyrannosaurus stamp shows this theropod attacking a Triceratops. In contrast, the Triceratops stamp shows the horned dinosaur fending off a lunge from the Tyrannosaurus.”

New PNSO Yangchuanosaurus “Dapeng” Reviewed

By |2024-01-30T16:13:18+00:00January 26th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Product Reviews|

Our thanks to a dinosaur model fan who sent in a review of the recently introduced PNSO Yangchuanosaurus “Dapeng” into Everything Dinosaur. William emailed to praise this new PNSO theropod figure and explained that this was the second Yangchuanosaurus figure from PNSO. This replica represents the enormous species Y. magnus.

PNSO Yangchuanosaurus “Dapeng”

The reviewer described this new PNSO figure as “truly a Jurassic terror of China’s ancient past.”

The genus was first erected in 1978 (Dong Zhiming et al). A large theropod skeleton had been discovered during the construction of a dam in Sichuan Province. This dinosaur was estimated to have measured around eight metres long. It was named Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis. In 1983, a second, considerably larger specimen was uncovered (specimen number CV 00216). It was initially thought to represent a new species and the taxon Yangchuanosaurus magus was erected. Further analysis revealed that the anatomical differences observed in the two skeletons were the result of ontogenetic variation. This larger skeleton is now thought to represent and older, more mature Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis.

Two PNSO Yangchuanosaurus Figures

The reviewer summed up the two PNSO Yangchuanosaurus figures stated that “Dapeng” represented the larger species Y. magnus or to put it another way the “old man” of “Dayong”.

William expressed his delight at being able to purchase this figure and commented:

“It is privilege to add this great beast to my collection.”

William concluded his Yangchuanosaurus “Dapeng” review by thanking Everything Dinosaur team members for their assistance. He highlighted the company’s excellent customer service and provided an example. Last year, William ordered a pair of PNSO Megalosaurus models, he was emailed by Everything Dinosaur just to make sure he did want the two figures. Team members were concerned in case William had ordered an extra Megalosaurus model by mistake. Once the order had been checked and verified it was despatched without delay.

Our thanks to William for his PNSO Yangchuanosaurus model review.

Helpful Explanation of Lateral Views

By |2024-01-01T11:27:35+00:00December 10th, 2023|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Palaeontological articles, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|

Many prehistoric animal models are photographed in lateral view. Everything Dinosaur explains the differences between right and left lateral views. It can be a little confusing for model collectors when photographs of a new prehistoric animal figure are released. Often the images include lateral views, these are images of the figure seen from the side.

The image (above) shows a view of the recently introduced PNSO Edward the Megalosaurus dinosaur model. The left side of the model can be seen. This photograph shows the left lateral view of the figure. That is, in a left lateral view the object faces to the left as you look at the image.

Lateral Views

Determining whether a prehistoric animal figure is in left lateral or right lateral view is made easier if the whole of the model is shown in the image.

  • Left lateral view – the head of the figure faces to the left as you look at the image.
  • Right lateral view – the head of the figure faces to the right as you look at the image.

Providing Explanations

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Our blog often features details of scientific papers. Some of them can be quite technical and we try to summarise the findings and provide simplified explanations for the general reader. Interpreting scientific drawings can be a challenge. It can also be difficult to understand the details shown on a photograph of a prehistoric animal model if the orientation is not known.”

Explaining lateral views of fossils.

The photograph (above) shows the skull of the stem lizard Cryptovaranoides microlanius in right lateral view. Computerised tomography (CT) was used to help the researchers to construct the left side of the skull of C. microlanius. This enabled the team to construct a left lateral view of the skull.

Standardising Anatomical Terms

Although left lateral and right lateral are terms that are not often used in scientific disciplines, it is helpful to have an understanding of their meaning. It is important to have standard anatomical terms and scientific papers have been published that examine the use of such terms when describing fossils.

The next time you see a photograph of a prehistoric animal model, we hope our short explanation will help you to understand whether the view is left or right lateral.
