About this book
Extinct Monsters by H. N. Hutchinson is presented as a popular account of some of the larger forms of ancient animal life, with illustrations credited to J. Smit and others. The listed illustrations include skeletons of Triceratops prorsus and Dimorphodon Macronyx, alongside bony spines belonging to the skin of Triceratops.
A quoted account describes workmen blasting rock inside a mountain cavern and discovering the jaws of a large animal attached to the roof of the chasm. The discussion suggests that basking sharks' dorsal fins may have furnished a reported ridge of fins, while allowing that an enormous marine snake may really have been seen.
