The present paper 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. With one exception the present work is based entirely upon National Museum material, the exception being a specimen generously loaned by Mr. W. H. Reed, of the University of Wyoming, and described here as a new type species.
Excerpt from Osteology of the Armored Dinosauria in the United States National Museum: With Special Reference, to the Genus Stegosaurus The greater part of the) early work 111 the preparation of these fossils was done by Mr. N. H. Boss and myself, but that of later years has been carried on by Messrs. N. H. Boss, C. V. Bressler, and G. B. Giles, and I can not too highly commend the diligence, patience, and skill employed by them In extracting these fossils, often of a delicate nature, from a most refractory matrix.

In the present paper it is proposed to discuss all of the Theropodous dinosaur specimens contained in the collections of the United States National Museum. The material at hand includes the remains of many individuals, several of which are represented by a considerable part of the skeleton, there are also quite a large number of separate bones.

Brings together the latest studies by an international group of dinosaur palaeontologists and provides descriptions of the original specimens of Hyaleosaurus and Stegosaurus
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, North American and European governments generously funded the discoveries of such famous paleontologists and geologists as Henry de la Beche, William Buckland, Richard Owen, Thomas Hawkins, Edward Drinker Cope, O. C. Marsh, and Charles W. Gilmore. In Patrons of Paleontology, Jane Davidson explores the motivation behind this rush to fund exploration, arguing that eagerness to discover strategic resources like coal deposits was further fueled by patrons who had a genuine passion for paleontology and the fascinating creatures that were being unearthed. These early decades of government support shaped the way the discipline grew, creating practices and enabling discoveries that continue to affect paleontology today.
