Megalosaurus! Where Dinosaur Science Began

Free event | No booking required

About the event

Join us for an exploration of the first ever dinosaur to be scientifically named and described. How did an enigmatic toothy fossil from Oxfordshire kickstart the last 200 years of global dinosaur research and fandom, and what do we know now about these animals, compared with two centuries years ago? You will also hear why the vertebrate palaeontology collections at OUMNH are of global importance as well as some exciting stories about the Museum’s recent dinosaur-related discoveries.
