Prompt used to create the image
Scientifically accurate paleoart of Iguanodon, a herbivore Iguanodontia dinosaur from the Barremian to early Aptian ages of the Early Cretaceous (about 126–122 million years ago). A large, bulky plant-eater about 10 meters long, walking on four legs with the hind legs much longer than the arms, a long tail held off the ground. Reference: Iguanodon, named in 1825, is a genus of iguanodontian dinosaur. While many species found worldwide have been classified in the genus Iguanodon, dating from the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, taxonomic revision in the early 21st century has defined Iguanodon to be based on at least one well-substantiated species: Iguanodon bernissartensis, which lived during the Barremian to early Aptian ages of the Early Cretaceous in Belgium, Germany, Spain, and possibly England, between about 126 and 122 million years ago. Iguanodon was a large, bulky herbivore, measuring up to 9–11 metres (30–36 ft) in length and 4.5 metric tons in body mass. Anatomy: a long head with a toothless beak at the front; a conical spike on each thumb. Full body in side view, whole animal visible, standing in an Early Cretaceous river floodplain in western Europe, like the Wealden of England and the Bernissart clays of Belgium, with conifers, cycads, tree ferns and ferns, no grass and no flowering plants. Natural history museum illustration style, realistic textures and natural daylight, muted natural colors. No text, no labels, no humans, no modern objects.

Iguanodon
Name meaning: Meaning "iguana tooth", because its teeth looked like an iguana's, only much bigger.

Pin Iguanodon on the globe
Iguanodon was a large Early Cretaceous plant-eater from Europe. It could walk on two legs or four, had a beak for cropping plants, and a spike for a thumb.
Fun facts
- Iguanodon was only the second dinosaur ever given a scientific name, in 1825.
- Its thumb spike was first mistaken for a nose horn, until more than 30 skeletons were found in a Belgian coal mine in 1878.
Who lived alongside it
Dinosaurs found in the same rock formation as Iguanodon (Arcillas de Morella, Wessex, Weald Clay), so they lived in the same region at roughly the same time.

Mantellisaurus

Polacanthus

Baryonyx

Valdosaurus

Hypsilophodon

Ornithopsis

Garumbatitan

Morelladon
Formation data from the Paleobiology Database, counting only each genus's main formations. One formation can span hundreds of thousands to millions of years, so this doesn't mean any two of them ever met.
