Duria Antiquior
Duria Antiquior, by Sir Henry Thomas De la Beche, George Scharf. The image reconstructs Dorset during the Jurassic Period populated with the ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs, ammonites, belemnites and other creatures and plants which Mary Anning discovered. Even ichthyosaur coprolites (ie faeces), which she identified in 1824, make an appearance. Lithograph
