Illustration of the English paleontologist Richard Owen (July 20, 1804 - December 18, 1892) with a skeleton of a Giant Moa, 1916. Owen was a biologist, comparative anatomist and paleontologist best remembered for coining the word Dinosauria (meaning terrible reptile or fearfully great reptile). Owen was also a taxonomist, naming and describing a vast number of living and fossil vertebrates. He was the driving force behind the establishment, in 1881, of the British Museum in London. He died in 1892 at the age of 88. The giant moa (Dinornis) is an extinct genus of ratite birds belonging to the moa family. This image has been color-enhanced.
