I searched for "Stegosaurus" and got _Osteology of the Armored Dinosauria_ by Charles Whitney Gilmore , 1914

A link to the internet archive copy, bc reasons:
archive.org/details/osteologyo

I think this volume is still referenced by paleontologists working on stegosaurs today; see for example the description of Miragaia

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/

and search for Gilmore

A teaser for our book, THE SECRET LIVES OF DINOSAURS, written by Dr Dean Lomax, illustrated in colour by me, & published by Columbia University Press.

Each chapter helps to reveal a unique narrative of the grand cycle of life, based on extraordinary evidence of behaviours written in the rocks.

Out September 2025. Pre-order now!

finally there's a new episode of paleocast out, in which Dave Marshall interviews Dr Christine Sosiak of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology about ants, especially fossil ants like Haidomyrmecines !

probably don't tell @futurebird it starts off with terrible ant puns and the eating of newly flighted leaf-cutter queens in the first 20 minutes.

oops has 2 parts, audio doesn't get to fossils until part 2 which isn't out yet

"All good ships have appropriate names. Our ship was christened Diplodocus, with a picture of the beast painted on the side for our talisman - also as a lure for dinosaurs under the ground."

So wrote Barnum Brown in 1935, opening an article about using an airplane to survey the western USA for fossils.

I have mixed feelings about these old articles from the history of paleontology, but here it is:

This article was really interesting, but the end is dark re climate collapse.

Anyway, from the link:

“There were mammoths and mastodons walking through Durham and through the Seacoast and all through New Hampshire. There's no question about it,” says Will Clyde, a geology professor at the University of New Hampshire.

“I tend to study periods that are much further in the past, and I don't tend to work in New Hampshire much,” Clyde says, but he is lucky enough to have fishermen visit his office when they find something odd amid all the stones and shells of a drag net.
“There's quite a few specimens that have been discovered by fishermen in the relatively shallow area there,” he says. “And that includes teeth, that includes ribs, that includes a beautiful specimen a few years ago that was a juvenile. It was a baby mastodon.”

The blood-curdling #Permian monsters that ruled the Earth before #dinosaurs.

The Permian, an obscure era of geological history where the planet was ruled by giant, bone-chilling beasts that ran with a characteristic waddle and sometimes snacked on sharks. During this living nightmare, there were occasionally more carnivores around than there were prey for them to eat on land.
