PaperDinosaurs Linda Hall Library An Exhibition of Original Publications from the Collections of the Linda Hall Library
Welcome!
Paper Dinosaurs is an exhibition of original printed materials related to the history of dinosaur discovery. The online exhibit was completely redesigned in 2009
About the Exhibit
In 1996, the Linda Hall Library mounted an exhibition of original printed materials related to the history of dinosaur discovery. On view were most of the classic papers of dinosaur lore, including original publications by Gideon Mantell, Richard Owen, Othniel Marsh, Roy Chapman Andrews, and a host of others; there were forty-nine items in all. The original exhibition ran from October 17, 1996 through April 30, 1997. The exhibition was then transferred to a virtual format on the web and expanded to include thirty-five additional works that could not be accommodated in the original exhibition space. It then ran relatively unchanged until 2009, when the pages were redesigned and the images reshot. Paper Dinosaurs now includes 94 images images, with each image available in a small or large format. Clicking on any small image will bring up the large version, and vice versa. The original exhibition was accompanied by a printed catalog, which is still available from the Library.

The Dinosauria
Dinosaurs, one of the most successful groups of animals (in terms of longevity) that have ever lived, evolved into many diverse sizes and shapes, with many equally diverse modes of living. The term "Dinosauria" was invented by Sir Richard Owen in 1842 to describe these "fearfully great reptiles," specifically Megalosaurus Iguanodon , and Hylaeosaurus , the only three dinosaurs known at the time. The creatures that we normally think of as dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, from late in the Triassic period (about 225 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous (about 65 million years ago). But we now know that they actually live on today as the birds
Running Deinonychus
Some things to keep in mind about dinosaurs:
Not everything big and dead is a dinosaur. All too often, books written (or movies made) for a popular audience include animals such as mammoths, mastodons, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and the sail-backed Dimetrodon . Dinosaurs are a specific subgroup of the archosaurs , a group that also includes crocodiles, pterosaurs, and birds. although

home paleontology Here is Brachiosaurus , someone for the diplodocids Apatosaurus (foreground, center) and Diplodocus Brachiosaurus might seem to be slouching here, but that is what I believe was its neutral pose, with its (relatively) itty bitty head cantilevered over 8 m ahead of its shoulders, and significantly, still over 6 m above the ground despite the way this reconstruction lowers the boom. Note that the two diplodocids are depicted with their necks at or near the extreme of dorsiflexion, as if in reaching up they cannot match the neutral position head height of Brachiosaurus Brachiosaurus brancai Brachiosaurus Brachiosaurus brancai has been given, since it's first restoration, a swan-like neck (with few exceptions in the literature). Two specimens (SI and SII) were described by Janensch, which provide utterly no basis for such an elevated-neck interpretation. On the contrary, the original steel-engravings and supplemental photographs of the individual vertebrae fossil, when composited to form a vertebral column, shows convincing evidence that the neck was actually straight at the base of the neck where it emerged from the shoulder, and increasingly ventrally curved cranially.

Vertebrate Paleontological Resources Protection Act
("Baucus Bill")
103rd Congress, 1st Session, S. ... In the Senate of the United States Mr. Baucus [D-MT] introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on ... A BILL
To provide for the protection of vertebrate paleontological resources on Federal lands, and for other purposes: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the "Vertebrate Paleontological Resources Protection Act." SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that
Federal lands are a valuable resource of the people of the United States;
each individual who uses Federal lands
(A)
is exercising both a right and a priceless privilege; and
(B)
must accept the responsibility of careful stewardship of the lands so that the privilege can be exercised by future generations;
vertebrate paleontological resources on Federal lands and Indian lands are an accessible and irreplaceable part of the heritage of the United States and offer significant educational opportunities to all citizens;
vertebrate paleontological resources are increasingly endangered because of their commercial attractiveness and because many are rare or unique;

Mongolian Dinosaurs at PIN
Some of the most popular and dramatic exhibits in the Paleontological Institute are their dinosaurs. The PIN has been collecting Dinosaurs from the Cretaceous of Mongolia for years as part of a joint project with the Mongolian Academy of Sciences. The late Cretaceous of Mongolia is famous for its dinosaurs and small mammals. The deposits there were first explored by parties from the American Museum of Natural History in the 1920's. Many important discoveries were made there, including the first actual evidence of egg laying and nesting behaviour in dinosaurs. Protoceratops , an ornithischian dinosaur , was found there along with nests of eggs that contained preserved embryos. At the time these photos were taken (early 1990s), many of the Mongolian dinosaurs from the PIN were part of a traveling exhibit to Australia and Japan. They still had two skeletons of Tarbosaurus (left), a theropod dinosaur related to Tyrannosaurus rex . These are from the Upper Cretaceous Tsagan-Oola Formation, and are about 70 million years old. In front of the tarbosaurs is the skull of Saurolophus angustifrons , also from the Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia. It is an herbivorous
