  • Osteology of the Armored Dinosauria in the United States National Museum, With Special Reverence to the Genus Stegosaurus

    Charles Whitney Gilmore

    Hardcover (Government Printing Office, March 15, 1914)
    In 1877 Professor O. C. Marsh described the first Stegosaurian fossils found on this continent. In a series of short papers appearing at irregular intervals up to the year 1897,he presented the more important facts relating to the osteological structure and the relationships of the genus Stegosaurus. In the paper presented here, it is proposed to give for the first time a detailed account of the osteological structure of Stegosaurus, to be followed by systematic descriptions of all the type-specimens of that genus and other armored dinosaur remains contained in the United States National Museum collections. When the Marsh collection was received at the National Museum in 1898 and 1899 a very small part of the Stegosaurian material was in condition for study. The preparation of this material was begun in 1906 and continued, barring some interruptions, to the close of the year 1913. All of the (then) known Stegosaurus specimens in the collections were then available to students. A treasure trove of early Stegosaurus material is available between these covers for enthusiasts and professionals.
