Camptosaurus dinosaurs, artwork C018 / 8573
Camptosaurus dinosaurs. Artwork of plant-eating ornithischian dinosaurs of the genus Camptosaurus, grazing in a forest of cycads and ferns 160 million years ago in what is today Wyoming, USA. In the cloudy sky above are a pair of pterosaur flying reptiles (upper right). Camptosaurus grew to 8 metres in length and weighed over 680 kilograms. They had had sturdy beaks in addition to closely packed teeth, adaptations that helped them forage on tough Jurassic vegetation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Camptosaurus dinosaurs in their natural habitat, taking us back 160 million years ago to what is now Wyoming, USA. The artwork beautifully depicts these plant-eating ornithischian dinosaurs grazing amidst a lush forest of cycads and ferns. Towering above them in the cloudy sky are two pterosaur flying reptiles, adding an enchanting touch to this prehistoric scene. Camptosaurus was truly a marvel of evolution, growing up to 8 meters long and weighing over 680 kilograms. Their sturdy beaks and closely packed teeth were remarkable adaptations that allowed them to forage on tough Jurassic vegetation with ease. As herbivores, they thrived on the abundant flora surrounding them. This image not only captures the awe-inspiring diversity of North American fauna during the late Jurassic period but also serves as a testament to Wyoming's rich paleontological history. It offers us a glimpse into an ancient world teeming with life and provides valuable insights into the biological and evolutionary processes that shaped our planet. The meticulous illustration by Walter Myers from Science Photo Library transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of these incredible creatures. This print is more than just art; it is a window into Earth's distant past – a reminder of how far we have come in understanding our planet's fascinating history.
