Megalosaurus at Crystal Palace Park 🦖
@MegalosaurusCPP
Just another lonely, Victorian replication of a carnivore muddling their way through life in Crystal Palace.

Oops. Happy birthday for yesterday Bucky boy. Tbqh you're lucky to get anything after that scrotum comment 😠
Despite appearances (and the moniker 'Scrotum humanum'), this fossil is actually most likely the femur of the first dinosaur ever scientifically described, the Megalosaurus. William Buckland FRS, born #OnThisDay in 1784, was the one who gave the account: bit.ly/3CwZVfb
Colin Trevorrow thinks I'm cool so you should probably go watch this and enjoy the world's second-greatest scientifically inaccurate dinosaurs.
Have you seen our new banner in the park? Designed for us by @davidvallade with his signature style and including a QR code so people can connect to our website!! "Bringing history to life" We love it! What do you think? 💚🦖
I already look cool 😎
'So keep your distance... when you're looking at me Hear my resistance, 'cos I'm wild and I'm free' An anoploterium cuts loose as she rehearses her song for the #SpeakingStones launch in April. All thanks to the Mayor of London's megatastically melodical #MakeLondon!

Damn I look good 😎
I just made these tiny printouts of @cpdinosaurs (Crystal Palace) dinosaurs, Megalosaurus, the "amphibian" Labyrinthodon, the marine reptiles Ichthyosaurus and Plesiosaurus. 3D models made available a few weeks ago by the Natural History Museum, London. #dinosaurs #fossilfriday
In my day it was a day out in Crystal Palace or nothing! 👵🦖
Shouting from his porch: “You kids & your Jurassic Worlds don’t know what it was like! Why, back in my day we just had one dinosaur adventure teevee show, & we liked it!”
Me and the Boys, getting ready for the new movie All raptor species from the Jurassic Park movies:
Love it when my dinner sings first
Choir rehearsals for our Dinochorus have begun! And @PAcappella, you are sounding... dino-namic! All thanks to @cpdinosaurs & the Mayor of London's megatastic #MakeLondon
Sadiq canvassing the Jurassic demographic
Fantastic to welcome @SadiqKhan to Crystal Palace today. We had a great time talking to local residents and also took him to see our wonderful dinosaurs! Sadiq has been a great supporter of our local area so please don’t forgot to vote Labour on 6th May
John Martin’s ‘The country of the Iguanodon’ (1838) depicts an iguanodon being attacked by a crocodile and a megalosaurus, while another fights a hylaeosaurus in the background. The print also depicts a pterodactyl and other animals including tortoises. #FossilFriday #dinosaurs
Let’s go big & go Jurassic for #FossilFriday! Here’s Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins’ ‘Jurassic Life of Europe’ (1877). The painting measures a panoramic 94.3cm × 233.7cm in its frame. It’s on display at the Guyot Hall in Princeton’s Department of Geosciences. #dinosaurs #PrincetonU
This thread could be such a good premise for a Hollywood blockbuster
The dinosaurs created by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins for Crystal Palace Park were so popular he was recruited by the Commissioners of Manhattan in 1868. They asked him to create a ‘Paleozoic Museum’ for Central Park to bring America’s prehistoric past to life. #FossilFriday #NYC
During my red phase in the 70s. The Iguanodons used to love being called “Comrade” and being woken up every morning with the Internationale... 🚩
Neither did I until yesterday, but it was. Here's a slightly blurry photo of it in its red phase:
That’s very cool isn’t it. I am resplendent!
Does anyone have photos of Crystal Palace's iconic Megalosaurus dinosaur statue when it was painted red, i.e. in the 1970s, that I could include (fully credited) in a future article? Here's a scale model of the Megalosaurus statue that I bought many years ago:
I am once again asking who this guy is and where he gets those nice gloves
