Iguanodon 200th Anniversary Event! Join us on 13 February to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Gideon Mantell's paper on the Iguanodon and the launch of 'Wizard of the Weald’, a new exhibition telling the story of its discovery. Our guest speaker for the evening is Dr Richard Fallon, author of 'Reimagining Dinosaurs in Late Victorian and Edwardian Literature'. His talk 'Dragons of the Prime' explores the major role that Victorian writers played in popularising dinosaurs in the 19th Century. The exhibition offers a rare chance to see some of the original fossil specimens collected by Mantell and donated to the Geological Society's museum, as well as some of Mantell's early manuscripts and publications.
