Note: This historical image is not a factually accurate paleontological restoration.

Reason: This early paleontological restoration of the Jurassic Period is regarded to be extremely inaccurate. For example: Body Proportions; Stegosaurus is way too theropod-like, when Stegosaurus is considered to be an ornithischian dinosaur but not an theropod dinosaur, head and mouth shaping is wrong; Stegosaurus did not have body armor like that, spikes on back and plates only on tail; the fact that dinosaurs had kangaroo-like body shape are now considered to be outdated; Compsonotus is an hypothetical animal; Pterodactyls are no longer considered to be marsupial mammals.
