This small plastic toy was given to me by a friend, who did not disclose the location of the finding. The species of dinosaur is likely fictional, though it bears a strong resemblance to an iguanodon. It lacks the typical thumbs of an iguanodon and the coloring is also incorrect. This toy used to belong to a child; his aunt found it at her home, and thought it would make good entertainment for her sister’s son. While hurrying to the store to buy some last minute groceries, the child’s mother pushed a stroller with him inside. He was playing with two dinosaurs (that were not made in the same scale, which looked odd) when the stroller hit a bump and this one fell from his hand onto the sidewalk. The mother was in a hurry and the child did not care for the toy very much, so they both chose to ignore it and continue with their more pressing engagements.
