EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 15cm Moa bone fragment, the very first evidence of the existence of these enormous, extinct birds from New Zealand. Discovered between 1831 and 1836, this precious relic comes from the species Dinornis novaezealandiae, which is believed to be between 0.01-1.8 million years old. The Moa, a member of the Ratite family and the Sauropsida order, were unique birds that could not fly. Richard Owen, the first superintendent of the Natural History Museum, utilized his exceptional anatomical knowledge to make an astute prediction about the bone's origin. He identified it as belonging to a giant bird based on its size and structure, marking a significant milestone in the understanding of New Zealand's avian history. The intricately detailed studioshot against a black background highlights the unique texture and structure of the bone fragment. The Moa bone, a testament to the rich biodiversity of our planet, is a treasure of natural history. This fragment, with its historical significance, serves as a reminder of the wonders that lie hidden in the annals of time, waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
