In February 1790 a baby was born in Lewes, Sussex who went on to discover the dinosaur ‘Iguanodon’. A tremendous Saturday at the #WealdenGeologicalAssembly with the Moon and Saturn shining over Gideon Mantell’s birthplace on the way to the pub!

Outside Gideon Mantell’s house in Lewes after the #WealdenGeologicalAssembly. How he managed his patients, and some 250 home deliveries a year and still found time for the dinosaurs Iguanodon, Hylaeosaurus and much much more is hard to imagine. #FossilFriday
