    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

  3. a few days ago, I woke up thinking the last of the stegosaurs had gone extinct about the same time as ants showed up. And so I thought: "hey, I'll make a joke about ants hunting all the stegosaurs to extinction for stegosaur steak, or to grind up all the stegosaur plates for alate energy pills."

    But there's a 13 million year overlap. So I didn't make the joke. But maybe ants just waited 13 million years to lull the stegosaurs into a false sense of security.
