Dinosaur Court

• Hylaeosaurus - An armored dinosaur that lived in the early Cretaceous period and which is today believed to resemble Ankylosaurus. By modern standards, Hawkins depiction is not considered particularly accurate. The head of the Hylaeosaurus in the park is not the original, but is a fiber-glass replacement - the original head can be found outside the visitor center.
  
  
• Iguanodon - A herbivorous dinosaur from the early Cretaceous period. Hawkins depicted the creature on all fours with a spike on its nose - today we believe the creature was a biped, and the conical spikes were attached not to the animal's nose, but to its thumbs.
  
  
• Megalosaurus - A carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the Jurassic period. It was the first dinosaur to be scientifically described (in 1824 by William Buckland), and is depicted as a heavily-built tank-like quadraped. Today however we know that Megalosaurus was a bipedal creature.

• Anaplotherium - An extinct genera of mammals. Hawkins depicted the animals as camel-like, but today they are believed to be more like hippopotamus or pigs. Three models were originally made, but one has subsequently gone missing.
  
  
• Dicynodon - A mammal-like reptile that like during the Permian Period. Hawkins depicted the animal as tortoise-like both in stance and by having a shell - however there is no evidence to support this hypothesis. Today Dicynodon is believed to have resembled a hippopotamus.
  
  
• Ichthyosaurus - A marine-reptile that lived during the Jurassic period. They are inaccurately depicted as crocodile-life and basking on land, whereas today we know they were more similar in shape to a dolphin and never came ashore.
  
  
• Labyrinthodon - Large Temnospondyl amphibians from the Triassic period - Hawkins models are based on frogs.
  
  
• Megaloceros ("Irish Elk") - Hawkins depicted a male, female and fawn. Originally the models of adults had antlers made from fossils.
  
  
• Megatherium - An extinct species of ground sloth that lived from 2 million to 800,000 years ago.
  
  
• Mosasaurus - A species of marine reptile that lived in the late Cretaceous period. As only the skull had been discovered at the time, the model has been positioned such that only the head is visible.
  
  
• Palaeotherium - A herd of tapir-like mammals from the Eocene.
  
  
• Plesiosaurus - There are three models of Plesiosaurus, each intended to represent a different genus. The models are considered fairly accurate by today's standards, except the necks are depicted as too flexible.
  
  
• Pterodactyl - Extinct species of winged reptiles ("Pterosaurs"). Again considered fairly accurate but for over-flexible necks.
  
  
• Teleosaurus - Two models of extinct crocodile-like reptiles from the early Jurassic period. These models are also considered reasonably accurate.
