Bax Holmes is perhaps best known for his discovery of the Great Horsham Iguanodon, a plant eating dinosaur, in building works on the future site of the Royal & Sun Alliance (now RSA) headquarters.
He was a long-time collector from the Wealden cliffs of the Isle of Wight, and his work on vertebrate palaeontology included studies of Iguanodon and Hypsilophodon from the Wealden (Lower Cretaceous).
However, he ends up trapped in the middle of a furious battle between a large pack of Velociraptors and a large pack of Iguanodons, and eventually he sacrifices his last chance to get help, instead saving a young Iguanodon he had befriended before.

Iguanodons are introduced in this book; Eric befriends one of them, and names him "Iggy".
Another accomplishment of his was voicing Kron the Iguanodon in Disney's CGI film Dinosaur.
In the original description, it was included with Iguanodon and Ouranosaurus in a family Iguanodontidae (Horman, 1998).
In 2010, Kenneth Carpenter and Yusuke Ishida synonymized Dollodon bampingi with Iguanodon seelyi, a species based on BMNH R 28685 from Wessex Formation, England.
Another dinosaur he described initially as a species of Iguanodon (I. suessii) has since been reassigned to the genus Mochlodon.
Each episode contains several missions that allows the player to either hunt or trap eight dinosaur species and one pterosaur:(Tyrannosaurus, Utahraptor, Troodon, Gastonia, Triceratops, Styracosaurus, Iguanodon, Lambeosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus).
The original Iguanodon tooth is held at Te Papa Tongarewa, the national museum of New Zealand in Wellington, although it is not on display.
