Hatcher worked on dinosaurs right to the end. The day he died, his part of 
the giant Ceratopsia (Hatcher, Marsh & Lull, 1907) manuscript was still in 
the typewriter. He also found some of the first specimens of Tyrannosaurus 
rex in the early 1890s. These are now at the Smithsonian and have yet to be 
described, as far as I know, though I think they're mentioned in the 
literature of the early 1900s.
