1770 Maastricht Mosasaur
Bildnummer 11598306
| 1798 Copperplate engraving map with its original handcolouring from Volume III of J.L Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder". Mosasaur hoffmanii. The Maastricht Mosasaur was the first giant prehistoric reptile to be found and described by science. It prompted enlightenment scholars to consider that the world might once have been populated by different creatures to those found today. This image shows the location ("Eingang" cave entrance) of the 1770 discovery in the St. Peters Bergs cave system near Maastricht. The find was publicised widely by the naturalist Johann Hoffman. It was later captured by French Revolutionary forces and taken to Paris. A Dutch naturalist Adriaan Camper realised the beast was allied to the lizards in 1799. In 1808 Georges Cuvier published it in his seminal paleontology work "Ossamens Fossiles". It was not actually named Mosasaurus ("Meuse reptile") until 1822 | |
