1677 Robert Plot first dinosaur bone
Robert Plot. Portrait of Robert Plot (1640-96),English pioneer of regional geography. Plot's Natural Histories of Oxfordshire and Staffordshire include their geology,diseases,agriculture,antiquities,industries and geography. Plot became the first Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum,Oxford,and a Secretary of the Royal Society. Robert Plot's 1677 'Natural History of Oxfordshire' contained the first clear illustration of a dinosaur bone. It was the lower part of a femur,probably of Megalosaurus. He thought most likely the thigh bone of a giant as mentioned in the Bible. Though his reasons are not entirely sound,he correctly dismisses the possibility that this is an elephant brought to the UK by the Romans,or that it is a bone of an Ox or horse expanded by petrifaction. That it was a giant extinct reptile was only realised by William Buckland around 1822. The bone has since been lost
