1852 Gideon Mantell's fused Spine
Numéro d’image : 11615070
| A dorsal view of Dr. Gideon Mantell's fused and distorted spine preserved at the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) from Hodgkin & Adams,Med. Chir. Trans 1854: 37: 167-80. Gideon Mantell,discoverer of the dinosaurs,died of an opium overdose to relieve pain on 11th Nov 1852. His spine was donated at his request to the RCS to elucidate a condition which had been a mystery in life. The spine went to the Hunterian Museum. It revealed curvature (scoliosis) and osteo arthritis - a long term condition exacerbated by a carriage accident nearly ten years earlier. Ironically it was fusion of the lower vertebrae that was a defining feature of the dinosaurs he helped discover. And the man who made that association,and who presided over the Hunterian Museum,was his arch-enemy Richard Owen. Though it is often said the specimen was destroyed in WWII,it was actually disposed-of to save space in 1970 | |
