I imagine a film adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World, featuring the Crystal Palace, and Prof. Challenger in the Iguanodon dinner.

And then imagine this adaptation putting JP to shame with more accurate dinosaurs on the plateau.

as a child (infant school) they showed us a TV programme in class about these sculptures. At that age I was dinosaur mad & have always wanted to visit. I remember a news article in 2020 about some being damaged so im very glad they've been restored.

Living right next to these wonders and seeing them every day (dog walking) Its lovely to see them through the eyes of someone else.. We are very lucky to have such treasures,,

They are certainly impressive sculptures. I didn't realise how much they had deteriorated, but the repairs are brilliant. I think they made a splendid effort conserving them!

my local park :) unfortunately people sometimes go to purposely damage these beautiful statues. disgusting behaviour. such a treasure to the area and maybe the country and world!

I remember my dad taking me to see these in the 1960s, they looked huge to me as a rather small boy!

Really cool I should check it out. You inspired me to take a trip to Dorset last weekend and I found loads of ammonites in the crumbled cliffs 🙌

Wow you won't believe this. When I was a child my parents took me here, but we are talking over 40 years ago and no one could remember where it was. But even now I recognise the place so thank you for a jump back to child hood I think it's time for a re visit 👍😁

I do remember reading about those in books from the local library arcive as a kid, but there was not that much information to find at the time, but they did stay in my mind and i learned a lot of British history not written in the regular scoolbooks here thank's to them. I still find those being genuinely interesting.

Thanks for bringing this book to my attention! Mark Witton is great, and I love the Crystal Palace dinosaurs, so I'll definitely check it out. I was lucky enough to visit Crystal Palace in 2016, and while the inevitable damage they continue to take saddens me, it's good to know these dinosaurs are being looked after so well.

Phenomenal video once again, Emma! Isn't it interesting looking at the history of geology and paleontology the ideas that scientists had back in the day?

I love these dinosaur sculptures. I was so disappointed when I found out that no dinosaur ever looked like this.

As I've said before, I just love your vids and I check for new ones every week. How's the PhD coming along, assuming you've already begun the schooling?

3 months and no new videos!!! They are really missed! I sure hope all is well.

I'm curious about the engraving depicting the dinner held in the unfinished Iguanodon statue. I never noticed that the names of Buckland, Mantell, Cuvier, and Owen were displayed above, and I'm curious as to what it means. Cuvier would have passed away years ago, Mantell would have passed at around this time, and Buckland would have been an invalid. Unless I'm mistaken, Owen is the only one who could have taken part in this event.
