I spent yesterday at Oxford University's Natural History Museum:

the name of the artist but his work is well known and much publicised
(he is best known for his Palaeozoic fish). 

I believe that this is the work of Bruce J. Mohn. See
<www.dinoart.com/pages/update.html> for a glimpse of his _Archaeopteryx
longipes_ reconstructions. Amazing>>


It might also be Richard Hammond.

There are reconstructions of Acanthostega and a number of Paleozoic fish
on his site:

Perhaps the displays were from more than one artist?

writing "Unicorns in abundance" or "Wall-to-wall Archaeopteryx."
