If you're any kind of paleonerd, you've heard of the #BoneWars. If not, this book by Jane Kurtz is the perfect primer to introduce any budding dinosaur fan to this infamous period in the history of paleontology! I’m particularly fond of the deliberately retro designs for the dinosaurs, which appear as #CopeandMarsh would have envisioned them. 🦕📖🦖
Check out my review of #TheBoneWars here: -
Since Cope and Marsh got brought up yesterday, let's talk about the timing of the Bone Wars.
Three factors influenced access to these famous fossil beds, first being the US Civil War. When violence broke out between the Union and Confederacy, many of the wealthy (including most US scientists) ran for the hills. Or, in the case of Cope, Europe. Marsh spent the War as a staff member to Generals Meade and Grant, seeing combat at the Battle of Vicksburg.
