EDITORS COMMENTS
Amphibamus grandiceps, also known as the "Great Swimming Reptile," is depicted in this stunning woodcut engraving from H.N. Hutchinson's "Extinct Monsters and Creatures of Other Days," published by Chapman and Hall in London in 1894. This prehistoric amphibian is believed to have lived during the Late Triassic period, around 230 million years ago. The Amphibamus was a large, aquatic reptile, with a long, serpentine body covered in bony plates, and four powerful limbs adapted for swimming. Its skeleton, as illustrated here, reveals the complex structure of its vertebral column, which supported its elongated body and provided the flexibility necessary for efficient swimming. This woodcut engraving, created over a century ago, remains an impressive testament to the scientific curiosity and artistic skill of the late 19th century. Hutchinson's "Extinct Monsters and Creatures of Other Days" was a groundbreaking work that brought the wonders of the prehistoric world to a wider audience. The intricate details of the Amphibamus grandiceps' anatomy, as captured in this illustration, continue to fascinate and inspire paleontologists and history enthusiasts alike. The Amphibamus grandiceps is just one of the many fascinating creatures that populate the pages of Hutchinson's work, a testament to the rich history of scientific discovery and the enduring allure of the prehistoric world.
